Investor Relations for Private Equity
PE investor relations is fundamentally different from public company IR. LPs are sophisticated allocators with deep private markets experience. They've seen countless fund presentations and can identify inflated claims instantly. They want substance over style - clear investment thesis, honest track record discussion, and demonstrated value creation capability. Quarterly letters and annual meetings only go so far. LPs increasingly want deeper understanding of portfolio value creation, investment decision-making process, and team capability. Video content provides this visibility in ways documents and meetings can't replicate. We create PE investor relations content that builds LP confidence through transparency. Investment committee footage that shows decision-making process. Portfolio company content that demonstrates value creation capability. Team content that evidences capability depth beyond named partners. All developed with understanding of LP expectations and SEC Marketing Rule requirements.
Private Equity Compliance for Investor Relations
SEC Marketing Rule (Rule 206(4)-1)
All content is designed with the Marketing Rule in mind. We ensure proper disclosures for testimonials, follow guidance on performance presentation, and avoid prohibited practices. Our documentation supports CCO review and SEC examination readiness.
Form ADV Requirements
We ensure video content aligns with Form ADV disclosures, particularly around investment strategies, fees, and firm description. Consistency between video and regulatory filings is essential.
Regulation D & Private Placement Rules
We understand the distinction between general marketing and fund-specific solicitation. Our content strategies support brand building and LP relationship development while respecting private placement restrictions.
Investor Relations Deliverables
We Understand Private Equity Challenges
LP Communication Constraints
Communicating with limited partners involves regulatory restrictions, confidentiality requirements, and high expectations. Generic investor communications fall flat with sophisticated LPs. We create content that meets these demanding standards.
Fundraising Competition
Capital is flowing to fewer funds, making LP relationships more competitive. Video content differentiates your fund in ways that pitch decks cannot—conveying team dynamics, investment judgment, and operational capability.
Portfolio Company Storytelling
Demonstrating value creation at portfolio companies is essential but challenging to communicate. We translate operational improvements, strategic initiatives, and exit outcomes into compelling narratives.
CCO Approval Requirements
Chief Compliance Officers must approve marketing materials, often adding review cycles. We build compliance-friendly content and provide documentation that streamlines CCO review.
