About The Conference
iGlobal Forum was pleased to host the upcoming Co-Investment Summit in New York on March 2nd. This event discussed the sector of co-investing as it grows in popularity among both LPs and GPs. LPs are searching for lower costs and additional transparency, while GPs are using co-investments as a way to increase dealflow and attempting to target larger investments. New challenges for LPs when entering into the co-investment space are making it difficult to navigate, but here we will discuss how to overcome short timeframes for valuations, due diligence, governance, tax, rights, and other issues. A case study done on Closing the Deal revealed how co-investments are carried out in practice to find a successful strategy, as well as highlight the pitfalls to avoid. 1-on-1 networking will allow LPs and GPs to connect, during a series of concise and focused meetings, and evaluate the potential for mutual business endeavors. Plus, an interactive luncheon workshop covered the recent move to direct investing and the opportunities within this structure. The co-investing environment is ripe with new opportunities, and iGlobal Forum’s Co-Investment Summit examined the strategies that LPs can use to create a successful co-investment program. The event brought together senior-level representatives from: LPs, private equity firms, mezz lenders, investment bankers, law firms, and industry advisors.
