Private Equity / Venture Capital
Private Equity and Venture Capital are increasingly popular for investments, and with proper risk identification, can be an integral part of most portfolios. At Shields Associates, our experienced team of senior consultants has one of the longest track records for placing hundreds of millions of dollars in:
- Venture Capital
- Private Equity
- Distressed PE (Private Equity)
- Mezzanine
- Leveraged Buyouts
- Secondary Funds
- Fund of Funds
Private Equity and Venture Capital are not uniform asset classes; each fund has its own distinct character and requires the highest level of due diligence. Our expertise extends across all types and stages of offerings, both domestic and global.
Because Private Equity and Venture Capital funds are only open for a limited time, with current investors often taking the large majority of the capacity of a top-tier fund, we help gain early access. Shields Associates also excels in the timely identification of new opportunities, investing in emerging funds at their most attractive points.
Our comprehensive services encompass fiduciary review and fund oversight, including best practice and peer group analysis. Shields also assists in the negotiation of fees and terms, and provides education to investment committees. As fiduciary partners in managing program assets, we strive to keep our clients fully informed and invested within their risk tolerance.
