The LP-GP relationship is constantly evolving with the changing landscape and mandates. With LPs coming to the forefront with direct investment and co-investment strategies, they are increasingly operating in the territory of fund managers. The rising trend of co-investments, secondaries, and continuation funds, especially in the post-pandemic period, is also seen to be altering the LP-GP dynamics. Furthermore, LPs are seen to be pushing for better governance practices and ESG-based investing principles.
What are the short-term and long-term impacts of the changing LP-GP dynamics? Will LPs be more choosy in selecting fund managers? Will prolonged exits make it harder for fund managers to raise successor vehicles? Are LPs bullish on first-time managers, specialist funds, or niche market-focused funds?
