Investment Philosophy

EquiBridge is focused on providing investors with an opportunity for inside access to emerging fund managers in a variety of alternative investment categories and international markets. Our investment philosophy is one of creative conservatism, blending an emerging private equity model with diverse, historically proven strategies to deliver investors the potential for superior, risk-adjusted returns within a shorter time horizon than traditional private equity opportunities.

While traditional private equity investments have historically produced an average annual performance of 12-13% (12.7%)* , there are private equity funds that have produced annual returns equal to or greater than 60%.  As such, our unique philosophy of investing in the fund manager, instead of directly in the fund, aims to deliver potential returns in excess of those historically generated so that investors have the opportunity to participate in potential higher returns that fund managers may receive.

EquiBridge seeks to provide the most promising fund managers throughout the world with growth capital to accelerate the performance of their business and their products. This infusion of growth capital enables fund managers to stay focused on long-term investment performance without compromising their day-to-day autonomy in managing their business. By investing in emerging fund companies rather than in the underlying funds, we help investors to profit the same way fund managers do, through asset management fees and fund performance.
