Wolf Point is proud to be included in such a distinguished list of Private Equity Firms, thank you Vishnu Amble! Always happy to discuss opportunities in the PE market with investors.
Even though its been a cold April, the #privatemarkets scene in Chicago is pleasantly warming up. It has been great to spend a few weeks here and see #institutionalinvestors from around the world seeking to back best-in-class #middlemarket #privateequity firms in this city that I believe to be the capital of middle market private equity. #Allocators from #Japan, #Korea, #australia, #singapore, #germany, #Saudiarabia, #unitedarabemirates, #canada, #brazil, #norway and other countries have come through here recently to meet the Chicago fund manager landscape. Several managers have demonstrated consistent net realized 2.5x to 3.5x to LPs over a 6-9 year fund period across market cycles the past 2 decades, and several investors from larger firms in the city are spinning out to take their track records to the formation of new, smaller-sized middle-market funds. These are proper #emergingmanagers. Chicago is a place with low levels of hype, high levels of results, and its great to see an increasing number of global allocators notice and appreciate the market here, and ask me about managers they should meet. I am finding the list of high-quality fund managers, just like family offices, continues to expand in this city. Contrary to popular opinion, the number of fund managers and allocators is actually increasing in Chicago, and not declining based on the over-hyped departures. Private equity fund managers to note: - Shore Capital Partners - Longshore Capital Partners - RoundTable Healthcare Partners - Pfingsten Partners - Performant Capital - Riverspan Partners - Charles Thayne Capital - Kinzie Capital Partners LP - Chicago Pacific Founders - Silver Oak Services Partners - Concentric Equity Partners - Water Street Healthcare Partners - May River Capital - Benford Capital Partners - Arbor Investments - The Vistria Group - Red Arts Capital - Tyree & D'Angelo Partners - Wind Point Partners - Wynnchurch Capital, L.P. - Frontenac - CIVC Partners - Prairie Capital - Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC - GTCR LLC - New Harbor Capital - Linden Capital Partners - Sheridan Capital Partners - Cressey & Company - Flexpoint Ford - Periscope Equity and several others - LinkedIn caps number of mentions! And some of the best #fundoffunds/ #advisors with access to established and emerging middle market managers: - Twin Bridge Capital Partners - GCM Grosvenor - Adams Street Partners - Wolf Point Asset Management - RCP Advisors - PPM America, Inc. - Mesirow - 50 South Capital And for some reason, I seem to be able to eat at local sandwich chain #JimmyJohn's on a daily basis, and find myself chatting the business of #sports with Joakim Noah! This is a great city from both a professional and personal standpoint! Reach out anytime you want to discuss the Chicago market!
