The Capital Environment
The market for capital has become increasingly competitive with a broadening gap between established and emerging managers. Well-branded, established funds are finding the fundraising process to be quick and seamless. For many others, it is a longer, more arduous process (typically longer than 18 months), often with mixed results.

Many investors have elected to consolidate their positions with fewer managers. There is a general trend for dropping lesser known funds and repeating or increasing allocations with proven and branded managers. This leaves less capital for new managers and existing managers that want to expand their investor base.

While many investors will consider new and emerging managers, their criteria for investing is quite high. Among other things, investors are seeking managers with a proven track record, an established and pedigreed team, a clear repeatable strategy within a sector, stage and/or geography that meets their allocation guidelines.

Our Selection Criteria
Based on our collective years of experience working closely with top tier investors, Prevail Capital performs extensive analysis and due diligence to target only the highest quality groups for our investors. Prevail Capital works with fund managers that have shown they know how to invest successfully.

We have no choice but to be extremely discriminating in selecting managers. Since we are a small boutique firm with a limited number of clients at any given time, client success is vital to our own success. We specifically seek clients that value the full attention and support of a dedicated agent.

Our Services
Prevail Capital’s process involves complete customization for each fundraising engagement. We work extensively with each manager to fine-tune fund positioning and marketing differentiation. We then develop and structure an execution plan to approach a highly targeted short list of qualified investor groups. Our goal is to ensure an efficient and highly successful fundraising effort where the outcome is a diverse cross section of quality investors for the current fund and beyond. We strive to create and maintain open and continuous communication throughout the process with investors as well as managers.
