Description
As fundraising cycles lengthen and LPs exercise greater selectivity, IR teams are rethinking how they engage, communicate, and retain their investor base. This panel explores how middle-market GPs are adapting their capital formation strategies. From evolving LP profiles and co-investment appetite to the growing influence of family offices and non-traditional allocators. Panelists will discuss what LPs are asking for now, how the bar for transparency and reporting has shifted, and what separates funds that close efficiently from those that don't.
