Diverse Private Equity Funds Featured in Gemini Industry Roundup

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Nov. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Gemini Companies (Gemini) today makes available a recorded  webinar featuring experts from a variety of private equity fund structures, including a registered interval fund, a registered open-end fund, and a private equity fund. The event was moderated by James Williams, editor of Private Equity Wire, and included four panelists: Eric Bundonis, Portfolio Manager from KKR; David Armstrong, Portfolio Manager from Cedar Capital; Dominique Severino, Partner at Orthogon Partners; and David Young, President of Gemini's Solutions for Hedge/Alt Funds.

During the event, each panelist outlined characteristics that draw investors to various fund types, including risk/return, liquidity, and access points. The panel also discussed:

• The role of the investment strategy: types of strategies that might be best suited to open-ended vehicles versus closed-ended tender funds or offshore private funds
• Performance objectives per fund type: benchmark returns an investor can expect to get in a registered private equity fund versus an offshore structure
• The volatility threshold of the investor: how different private equity structures influence/respond to a stress event
• Key investor considerations when considering the best access route into private equity (such as net worth and investment time horizon)
• How important it is for investors to have a wider set of investment options for building exposure to private equity

David Young commented, "The demand for private equity returns is generating a variety of new products for investors. Innovation and agility are part of Gemini's DNA, so we have the flexibility to adapt to each type of these fund structures, including through our Dedicated Managed Account platform, as well as registered, interval, and traditional PE fund structures."

Elements of Gemini's outsourced private equity fund administration model include: robust reporting to respond to new U.S. tax laws, optimal data connectivity for better insights and execution, access to a team of professionals that can be leveraged as an extension of the manager's core team, streamlined operations resulting in ease of workload, and ability to deliver cost savings that impact a fund's bottom line and flow through to their investors.
