FULL-DAY MASTERCLASS

Thursday, February 17, 2011

8:00 am – 5:00 pm
New York City 

Designed to Meet the Needs of GPs, LPs, & Managers of Buyout, Growth Equity, Mezzanine, & Lending Funds, as Well as Independent Sponsors, Operating Partners, Portfolio Company Managers, and the Bankers, Lawyers, Accountants,

& Other Advisors Who Support Them

Faculty | Schedule | Registration | Location | Sponsorship | Audio Package |

Family offices are known for being reclusive, so it’s as difficult to count them as it is to find them.  The most generous estimate comes from Barron’s, suggesting there are approximately 3,000 family offices worldwide -- three times as many as estimated in a Wharton School study.

What’s more, every family office, and every high-net worth individual investor, presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities to fund raisers and only the most creative and patient  will find ways to break through.

Knowing how to find, approach, and win over the managers of single or multiple family offices, or individual high net worth investors, are skills that can net you substantial returns in 2011 and beyond. 

But you can’t develop them without advance preparation -- the universe is too small, the right introductions are too important, and the first impression is all you get.

That’s why you’ll want to make plans now to join us for our encore full-day conference on Thursday, February 17, in New York --

Raising Private Equity Funds

From Family Offices & Wealthy Individuals --

How to Hit Your Funding Targets

Without Going to Institutional LPs

And when you sign up now, you can take advantage of our special Early Bird Discount that makes a great conference even better.  A generous savings of $400 applies to all reservations made by January 28, 2011!

20 Fundraising Experts from Both Sides of the Table Share Their Knowledge

We’re especially pleased that our chair will be Adam Blumenthal, founder and managing partner of Blue Wolf Capital Partners and Blue Wolf Capital Fund II, a leading special situations private equity firm investing in middle market companies.

In addition to his current role as Managing Partner of Blue Wolf , Adam previously served as vice chairman, president, chief operating officer, and chief financial officer of American Capital Strategies Ltd., the prominent publicly traded buyout and mezzanine fund.  When he joined American Capital, it had one other employee and had not yet raised institutional capital.  In the subsequent years, he played a central role in building it to over $1 billion invested in 63 middle-market companies by the time he left.

Later he became first deputy comptroller and chief financial officer for the New York City Comptroller’s office, managing the assets of the New York City Retirement System.  During his tenure, those assets increased to $85 billion, up from $65 billion, primarily as a result of strong investment gains.

He is a director of Finch Paper LLC, Northern Resources Nova Scotia Corp., Healthcare Laundry Systems LLC, and Gloucester Engineering Corp., and chairs the investment committees of the Community Service Society of New York and the Nathan Cummings Foundation, a well-known family foundation.  He holds a BA from Harvard College and an MBA from Yale School of Management.

Our past Family Office conferences have packed the room, with good reason -- nowhere else will you be able to amass so much timely information from so many industry veterans.

For instance, family office managers are demanding much more disclosure from GPs than in the past.  So if you make it to the door, you can expect initial skepticism, demands for transparency, and close scrutiny of every number.

And you’ll have to be prepared for pushback on management fees, carry structure, and clawback.  Fees of uninvested capital, and rebates on deal-related fees.  The amount of your own contribution.  Even the makeup of advisory committees.  These investors have an overabundance of choices, so the overall terms are just as important as your experience, track record, and strategy.

What’s more, as good as your fund’s strategy may be, there are always circumstances that can work against you.  Your expertise may be exactly what the family office likes, but the deal may not work for tax reasons or because it would compel SEC registration.  And keep in mind you’ll be dealing with timelines more about wealth preservation and accumulation than short-term returns.

If you’re a GP, you’ll hear from your counterparts how they are getting deals done -- and you’ll hear from family office managers themselves what gets their attention and what terms they find favorable.  

And if you’re a family office manager or high-net worth investor, you’ll hear how other LPs like yourself are making decisions and what they’re looking for.

With the importance of relationships and credentials, we’ll explain how you can establish trust and build rapport.  You’ll hear ways you can mine your existing networks for introductions, and what you should know about your prospect before that first meeting takes place.  

You’ll also hear about presentation style -- when to trot out the spreadsheets, and when to focus on intangibles -- because it comes down to making yourself look different and unique.

Our brand-new panel presentations will feature prominent family office managers, GPs working with family office managers and wealthy individuals, plus private equity industry specialists in making fundraising presentations, preparing pitch books, negotiating GP/LP agreements, and arranging deal structures.  

Register now to reserve your seat for the answers to your fundraising questions --

• What are the best ways for GPs to locate family office managers?
• How can you best secure introductions to potential investors?
• What actions can make or break a cold call, and why?
• How are family offices altering their investing structures for 2011 and beyond?
• Why is it so important to offer absolute transparency?
• When should you use a placement agent, and how do you choose the right one?
• What are the key differences making presentations to family offices and high net worth individuals?
• How quickly do family office managers usually expect to see a return on their investments?
• What are the traps that can lead you to overwhelm rather than correctly impress your potential investors?
• What new technologies are changing the game, and how do you use them to your advantage?
• And much, much more.

Make the Connections That Can Make Your Year

While family offices and high net worth individuals are open to investment in smaller and newer firms, you still need a proper introduction.  That’s why we’ve built in plenty of time over the day -- including session breaks and an open lunch -- when you can meet fellow attendees and featured speakers to exchange cards and establish communication.

You should attend this conference if you are a --

• GP wanting to learn how best to pitch to family offices and high net worth individuals.
• Family office manager looking to build relationships with GPs who are making pitches.
• High net worth individuals interested in breaking into the private equity world.
• Emerging manager looking to raise your first fund.
• Experienced GP ready to cast your net wider for potential investors.
• Family office manager seeking benchmarks to gauge your performance.
• Fund of funds manager who wants to maximize upcoming opportunities.
• Attorney or advisor involved with family offices and high net worth individuals.
• Placement agent seeking new sources for closing young funds.
• Private equity communications professional involved with presentations to family offices and high net worth individuals.
• Executive search professional recruiting for the private equity industry.

Remember, register with our Early Bird Discount by January 21, 2011, and you’ll save $400 off our standard fee!  Seats are available right now, but not for long, so please make your reservation now so you’re not disappointed.  We’ll be looking forward to greeting you.
