Accellency had the pleasure of being a key speaker at France Invest IR Breakfast, where we presented our perspective on the evolving role of Investor Relations, shared our systematic 8-step positioning approach, and outlined the key principles to maximise fundraising and LP engagement.
Our key takeaways from the session:
– GPs must strengthen their differentiation factors to escape the “JAMBO effect” – Just Another Mid-Market Buyout.
– Always pitch the asset class before the GP and its team to anchor a clear and compelling narrative for LPs.
– DPI is the new IRR – liquidity and tangible distributions sit at the heart of LP expectations.
During the session, Accellency also addressed numerous questions from IR professionals, offering concrete experience-based feedback, highlighting the main challenges currently faced by GPs and IR teams, and providing practical insights to succeed in fundraising, strengthen LP relationships, and enhance market positioning.
A big thank you to Antoine Parmentier, Chloe Bessières, Edouard Durand, Mathieu Lélu, Apolline Fourn and France Invest for the invitation, and to all participants for the dynamic and insightful discussion.
