In addition to demanding on-target
investment returns, investors expect consistent attention and timely
information flow from fund managers 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 fund managers with a primary 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 have been 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 clients.
