AICO partners believe in the concept of alignment of interests and in general is raising capital on a success basis, without e.g. retainer fees. in some cases, or upon request, AICO partners’ remuneration model can be structured to be a combination of success and retainer fees. as a rule aico partners will only accept remuneration from the manager, never from a prospective investor.
Alignment of interests means we believe in what we do.
AICO partners is only raising capital for a few, select number of managers at any point in time. the firm believes in pursuing a concentrated approach as this allows for the necessary focus and attention. it also provides for credibility, when reaching out to the investor network.
Manager integrity and pedigree are important to aico partners and there needs to be conviction that the strategy can provide an added value to investors within our network.
The select funds that aico partners are raising capital for receive exclusivity within their niche or strategy. aico partners does not raise capital for two managers of the same strategy at the same time.
We are fully committed to the select funds we are raising capital for.
Every fund is different with a unique story. for each fund aico partners carries out its own individual due diligence. this is the first step in truly understanding the people and the story.
In many cases the process of raising capital and bringing investment competence and investor capital together may also entail coaching, to prepare managers for the institutional investor market place. the process may also entail a review of existing - or assistance in preparing new - marketing material.
We work closely with the manager we represent, agree on milestones and individual investor coverage, provide transparency on steps taken and are cognizant of the importance of utilizing manager time efficiently.
