Co-Investments Provide Greater Visibility and Shorter Holding Periods

  • Co-investment vehicles enable investors to know exactly what they’re investing in as compared to primary investment funds that are typically “blind pools.”
  • Compared to an investment in a primary equity fund, co-investment vehicles provide an ideal entry point along the J-curve, allowing for a more attractive risk-return profile, including shorter holding periods and possible quicker monetization.

J-Curve Mitigation

Traditional LP Investments

  • Negative carry while creating future value
  • Original Fund’s duration can be 10 years or longer
  • Extension of Original Fund is difficult in current market

Axxes Direct Co-Investment Vehicles

  • Enter at the value creation stage of ownership
  • Lower risk entry point and greater visibility into growth/profitability trajectory
  • Invest during the harvesting period (avg. hold of 5 years)
