You are not a commodity. Don’t market yourself as one.
We’ve all heard about local teams and proprietary deal flow. That pitch just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Out of a universe of more than 4,000 private investment fund managers active in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, more than 700 are marketing product in a given year.
In 2018, 160 private equity and venture capital funds targeting these markets achieved a final close. Of that figure, only 62 mid-market funds succeeded.*
Differentiation is not a luxury; it’s an imperative.
Your Partner for Pitchbooks, PPMs, and More
Portico partners with fund managers to address critical strategic and tactical questions that emerge throughout the life of a fundraising campaign — from pre-marketing all the way through final close.
And we don’t stop there. Portico also works with firms’ founders and investor relations teams to generate thought-provoking content that nurtures relationships with existing and prospective LPs.
We are experts at building institutional-quality pitchbooks for our clients. We encourage firms to check out our Documents & Materials Package.
