Fundraising readiness
Reconcile strategy, team attribution, fund terms, pipeline and supporting documentation before approaching prospective LPs.
Investor and transaction services
Fund manager capital and transaction support
Set a clear scope for fund placement readiness, target or asset screening, portfolio transactions and investor materials, with ownership of each workstream agreed at engagement.
A defined mandate
Connect the fund strategy, investment pipeline and fundraising evidence.
Set a clear scope for fund placement readiness, target or asset screening, portfolio transactions and investor materials, with ownership of each workstream agreed at engagement.
Start with the decision you need to make, your role and authority, target sectors and markets, ticket range, timing and the information available. The engagement scope should identify the work Matchpoint undertakes and any independently appointed specialist work.
Deployment and acquisition screening
Translate the fund mandate into sector, geography, instrument and ticket filters; document the basis for each shortlisted opportunity.
Portfolio transaction support
Define the scope for portfolio capital raising, acquisitions, divestments, refinancing or a secondary process.
LP evidence and diligence coordination
Organise the track-record evidence, DDQ, data room, questions and document ownership for allocator review.
Start with a scoped diagnostic
Fund readiness diagnostic; investor-materials gap register; deployment criteria; transaction or LP diligence workplan.
Discuss this engagementEvidence to bring
Provide the mandate or investment thesis, authorised decision-makers, existing adviser appointments, available financial and operating information, constraints, timing and the specific decision requiring support.
Proof and delivery requirements
Before engagement, confirm the named delivery lead, relevant experience, permitted references, specialist qualifications, document access and sample deliverable structure. Any transaction or performance claim requires verifiable source evidence and permission to use it.
Delivery responsibilities
Separate the manager's fundraising objective from an allocator's investment decision. Establish rights to use track records, conflicts, distribution permissions and the identity of any independently regulated provider.
GCC and cross-border mandates
Define the scope for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and any wider international market relevant to the mandate. Assess local ownership, investment, promotion, data, tax and execution requirements with qualified advisers. Country references describe the intended assessment scope.
