In addition
to demanding on-target investment returns, limited partners expect
consistent attention and timely information flow from GPs throughout
the life of their funds. Regular dialogue, visits, and the provision
of timely, accurate information are essential to develop lasting
relationships between investors and management teams.
For GPs with a clear focus on sourcing new investments, and managing
portfolio companies, regular dialogue with investors can divert
vital resources. Cygnus Capital undertakes high quality reporting
and liaison with investors, to meet their needs and expectations,
and to engender close ties between partners.
The fundraising and investor relations process should not be confined
to existing clients. Many investors will be unable to commit to
a fund, for a variety of reasons, and may wish to monitor a team’s
progress, with a view to investing in the successor fund. Again,
Cygnus Capital can maintain this important dialogue on behalf of
GPs.
