Winning Over LPs in a Tough Fundraising Environment: What Does It Take?

Raising a private equity fund is never an easy endeavour but over the past two years it has become even more challenging. Between institutional LPs having less capital to deploy and the lack of returns, firms have had to work harder to find new sources of capital. In this session, our panelists will discuss how they tackled fundraising, the efforts they made to find new investors and keep existing investors happy and the role that terms played.
