In Profile: LPs
Unquote is currently mapping out the LP landscape with a growing selection of in-depth, data-driven profiles of the major players investing in European mid-market private equity funds.
These profiles stem from direct access and in-depth conversations with key decision makers in charge of private equity investments, covering issues such as allocation strategy, return expectations and approaches to co-investment. They are a must-read for LPs wishing to benchmark themselves against their competitors, and for GPs wishing to gain a deeper insight into the strategy of potential new investors.
