Glossary

Co-Investment

Co-Investment refers to the direct participation of an investor in a specific transaction alongside a General Partner, without going through the main fund. Co-Investments are often made at reduced or no management fees and no carried interest, but require rapid decision-making and independent due diligence capacity.

At a glance

  • Co-Investments allow targeted concentration on individual transactions and may offer more favourable fee structures.
  • They require independent due diligence capacity and concentrate risk on single transactions.

Frequently asked questions

Co-Investments concentrate capital on individual companies or transactions, which increases concentration risk in the portfolio. Decision timelines are often very short. Investors without independent analytical capacity risk committing to transactions without fully understanding their risks.
