General Session #6 – What’s Next in the Evolution of Independent Sponsors

This panel will provide an overview on the rise and growth trends within the independent sponsor community and the advantages and disadvantages these firms face when breaking away from traditional private equity models. Trends show that more and more LP investors consider allocating capital to independent sponsor deals that present higher yield potential without the management fees and pooled investing restrictions that apply to fund offerings. While fundless sponsor models are gaining popularity and interest from broader capital markets, independent sponsors often face higher scrutiny to make up for the lack of committed capital and dry powder managed funds have at their disposal. Our panelists will share how the top independent sponsors across AM&AA’s network have overcome competitive adversities and best positioned themselves for long term success.
