Frontierspace perspective

Why it may matter to an LP

For an LP, the useful part is the ability to compare manager conversations across private equity, venture and secondaries in one setting. It can be a practical place to test how a manager explains deployment, liquidity, portfolio construction and alignment.

Use meetings to test a live investment question

The value is usually in the quality of a few conversations, not the number of badges collected. Set a clear screen before the event and use meetings to compare how managers think about the same market, risk or portfolio problem.

  1. 01

    Set a short list of manager questions before arriving.

  2. 02

    Ask how each strategy fits your existing private-market programme.

  3. 03

    Leave room for follow-up meetings after the event rather than trying to decide on the day.
