Disciplined selection before capital is committed.

01

Opportunity

Define the source of return and why the opportunity exists.

02

Underwriting

Test assumptions, structure, downside scenarios and execution risk.

03

Alignment

Assess governance, incentives and the interests of all capital providers.

04

Portfolio fit

Consider concentration, liquidity, duration and contribution to objectives.

Private market perspective

Different assets require different questions.

Private investments are not simply public market assets without a quoted price. Structure, control, liquidity, information rights and the path to realisation can be as important as the underlying business or asset.

Investor information

Investment details belong in formal documents.

Specific objectives, risks, fees, eligibility requirements and terms vary by opportunity. These are communicated through the relevant materials when an investment is available.
