What are the best sources for new and emerging investment opportunities?
The reality is too many Family Offices or high net worth individuals want to pursue these opportunities directly Most don’t have the time allocated necessary or the number of repetitions necessary to qualify. For large scale many of these FO’s or HNW should allocate to funds (especially emerging manager funds). I suggest emerging manager funds because 1st time fund managers actually have a higher historical average of success (and smaller funds are easier to outperform the market). OR They should look to syndicators to provide them greater access to lots of deal (where they give up some upside) but gain optionality to invest in lots of deals before they determine if they want to consistently participate in the venture asset class.
