Last free posts: LP Investing Digest & Full Article Index (all 120+ published articles organized by topic)
These free weekly LP Digests are sponsored by GrowIt (article continued below):
Dozens of GPs that I know have saved time and money by using GrowIt for their legal and compliance needs on real estate deals. To learn more, you can book a meeting directly with the CEO.
Why Choose GrowIt?
Quick: you’ll be ready to raise in just 10 days (forget 4-6 week setups).
Affordable: $2,500 upfront, and you only pay the remainder if you close.
Seamless: we’ll take the legal and compliance work off your hands, period - entity formation, legal docs (operating agreement, subscription agreement, risk factors, Form D filing, blue sky filings), and investor onboarding.
Some good thoughts here which I’ve seen as well (see link for full post)
(not so) gentle reminder that “guaranteed” returns and “haven’t lost investor capital” aren’t good reasons to put your capital to work with someone
“Guaranteed” is discussed in detail within 6 reasons to put down a deck and guaranteed red flag
“Never” is discussed at length within never say never
A worthwhile read for LPs
I wrote on emerging managers here and think the below is a worthwhile read (see link for full post) - we’ve seen incredible interest in emerging managers from all LP types, and have even seen some larger allocators create strategies for this strategy recently
I can’t believe it has already been a year!
