• Investing in the Architects: The Strategic Evolution of GP Stakes

As the alternative investment landscape matures, sophisticated investors are increasingly looking beyond individual funds to the institutional “architects” themselves. This session provides a deep dive into GP Stakes—a strategy involving non-control equity investments in the management companies of alternative asset managers.

Robert Hamilton Kelly, Co-head of Petershill, will explain how this asset class can bridge the gap between private equity and yield-oriented strategies, offering a combination of stable, fee-related earnings and long-term enterprise value growth. We will analyze the structural shifts driving this market, including the “staying private longer” trend and the increasing professionalization of mid-market firms.
