The more forward-looking private equity managers in the
middle-market space are beginning to embrace technology to help
improve their fund raising efforts, and better connect with
investors.
In a recent 2019 PE Outlook Report produced by Private
Equity Wire, Andrew Bentley, Partner at Campbell Lutyens, a leading
global placement agent in private markets, made the following
comment when asked how he viewed the fundraising environment for
2019:
"We expect most capital will be applied to servicing re-up
requests from LP's core existing managers, with new
relationships being harder to consummate versus 2017 and 2018.
Smart money will be looking for cycle-tested managers, proven
cross-border reach and a technology edge."
