Key Terms

co-investment, limited partners, lp secondaries, assets under management

4 terms

co-investment financial

"seeks to capitalize on unique direct co-investment and secondary investment opportunities"

Co-investment is when one or more investors put money directly into the same deal alongside a lead investor or fund, rather than only investing through the lead's pooled vehicle. Think of it like joining a group of friends to chip in for a single big purchase: it can give investors larger or cheaper exposure to a specific asset, closer alignment with the lead, and higher potential returns — but also concentrates risk in that single investment.

limited partners financial

"Due to strong support from Limited Partners across the globe, the Fund surpassed"

Limited partners are investors who provide most of the capital to an investment partnership but do not run its day-to-day business; they have liability only up to the amount they invested. Think of them as silent backers who hire a manager to make decisions and share in profits or losses; their importance to investors lies in shaping how much money a fund can deploy, the risk and return profile they receive, and the liquidity and fees associated with that investment.

lp secondaries financial

"well diversified by asset, sector and geography, through both GP-led and LP secondaries"

LP secondaries are sales of an investor’s existing ownership in a private investment fund — for example a limited partner selling their share of a venture capital or private equity fund to another buyer. They matter because they provide liquidity in otherwise hard-to-sell investments and can reveal how the market values those private assets; think of it like selling your share of a jointly owned house, where the sale price and speed tell buyers and sellers how desirable the property is.

assets under management financial

"infrastructure platform today includes nearly 200 GP relationships and represents more than $87 billion in assets under management"

Assets under management (AUM) is the total value of all the investments that a financial company or fund is responsible for overseeing on behalf of its clients. It’s like a big bucket that shows how much money the firm is managing for people or organizations. A higher AUM often indicates a larger, more trusted company, and it can influence how much money they earn and the services they can offer.
