Why Venture Capital?
VC targets high-growth opportunities at the earliest inflexion points where innovation, scalable models, and exceptional teams can create outsized value. Returns are typically long-dated and uncorrelated with public markets.
Our Approach
We source from established VC ecosystems in the US, UK, and Europe, focusing on managers with repeatable processes, portfolio construction discipline, and strong governance. Every mandate is independently vetted across investment, operational, and compliance dimensions.
Who It’s For
Suitable for financial advisors building sophisticated, long-term allocations, and for certified high-net-worth investors with the risk tolerance and time horizon required for illiquid, high-variance outcomes.
Private Equity vs. Venture Capital — Key Differences
| Private Equity (PE) | Venture Capital (VC) | |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | Investment in established, often cash-flowing companies via buyouts, growth equity, or secondaries. | Investment in early-stage, high-growth companies focused on innovation and scalability. |
| Stage Focus | Mid- to late-stage; control or significant minority stakes. | Seed to Series B/C; typically minority stakes. |
| Value Creation | Operational improvement, strategic M&A, margin expansion, governance discipline. | Product-market fit, rapid customer growth, network effects, category leadership. |
| Risk/Return Profile | Moderate-to-high risk; return dispersion lower than VC; relies on execution and leverage discipline. | High risk/high dispersion; a few outliers drive overall returns. |
| Time Horizon | Typically 5–7+ years to realisation. | Typically 7–10+ years to realisation. |
| Liquidity | Illiquid; exit via trade sale, IPO, or secondary. | Illiquid; exit via follow-on rounds, M&A, or IPO. |
| Diversification Role | Long-term growth and ownership transformation; lower correlation to public markets. | Access to innovation and potential outsized growth; uncorrelated to public markets. |
| Investor Fit | Advisors/HNWIs seeking long-term private market exposure with operational value creation. | Advisors/HNWIs with higher risk tolerance targeting early-stage innovation. |
| GPM’s Value Add | Access to developed-market PE managers and secondaries, vetted via independent due diligence. | Access to top-tier and specialist VC managers; disciplined, multi-layered diligence. |
PE and VC target different stages of company growth — together, they broaden private market exposure and potential outcomes.
