This event has been organized by iGlobal Forum. The gathering will bring together venture capital professionals to discuss the increasing popularity of co-investing among both Limited Partners (LPs) and General Partners (GPs) and the strategies they can employ for success. LPs are interested in additional transparency and reduced costs, while GPs are after a way to raise dealflow and target larger investments. When entering the co-investment space, new challenges are making it difficult for LPs to navigate. Conference speakers will lead discussions on how to overcome short valuation timeframes, governance, due diligence, governance, rights, tax, and other issues. There will be opportunities for 1-on-1 networking between LPs and GPs, as well as an interactive lunch workshop which will cover the recent move to direct investing and the opportunities within this structure. The co-investing space is aplenty with new opportunities. The event will examine the strategies that LPs can use to create a successful co-investment program. Attendees will represent private equity firms, LPs, investment bankers, mezz lenders, industry advisors and law firms. Key topics to be discussed include the key co-investing drivers; the key players involved; macroeconomic trends pushing the co-investing trends; due diligence; negotiations; building relationships and connections; changing regulatory environment; the impact on PE by the direct investing environment; finding the best alternative co-investment opportunities.
