Guides
Plain-English investor guidance.
Short, practical explainers on how the opportunities desk works and the decisions every investor faces — how to read a teaser, how co-investment differs from a fund commitment, how single-asset SPVs are structured, and what an indicative IRR and tenor really mean — each linked to the templates that put the idea into practice.
General information only — not investment, legal or tax advice, and not an offer of any security or interest in any vehicle.
Reading an opportunity teaser
A teaser is the one- or two-page summary the desk releases under NDA before a full data room. Here is what each section is really telling you, what to take at face value, and the questions a teaser should make you ask before you commit time.

Read guideSPV structures for single-asset deals
Why a special-purpose vehicle is the standard way to hold one deal or co-investment, how a cross-border holding stack typically looks, and the governance, economics and compliance questions to settle before you subscribe.
