PE Fund Training: Fundraising and Fund Management

What You Will Learn in This Training

・The ability to design fundraising as a strategy from LP targeting through the structure of the pitch
・The ability to articulate "why this GP wins" covering investment policy, differentiation, repeatability, and risk management
・The ability to explain IRR/MOIC construction not at the individual deal level but as portfolio design across the entire fund
・The ability to propose with practical prioritization the KPI design, monitoring, and governance essential during the fund management phase
・The ability to discuss LP/GP dynamics in practitioner terms including reporting, transparency, expectation management, follow on commitments, and trust building
・The ability to demonstrate realistic judgment on strategy shifts in response to changing market conditions including the fundraising environment, risk premiums, and investor sentiment

Section Based Intensive Training (Fundraising / Fund Management / Combined)

Select one of the following and work through the case. The combined track delivers questions at random, training your ability to switch gears on the spot just like in practice.
1. Fundraising Training (the practice of PE fund capital raising)
2. Fund Management Training (the practice of PE fund operations and portfolio management)
3. Combined Training (exercises that randomly blend both)

How the Training Works (Case Driven, Fully Practice Oriented)

1. Select a Track (Fundraising / Fund Management / Combined)
2. Case Presentation (fund overview, fundraising/AUM scale, timing, market conditions, key LPs/GPs, and more)
3. Progressive Questions That Go Deep (examples)
・For this case, which LPs should you target, how do you approach them, and what is your angle?
・On the management side, which KPIs do you prioritize for value creation, and how do you monitor them?
・What are the critical risks in fundraising and fund management that become fatal if overlooked? What are the mitigation measures?
・How do you forecast IRR/MOIC, and how do you design the fund to optimize them?
・What challenges arise in the LP/GP relationship, and what are the realistic solutions?
・If you were leading this, how would you propose additional fundraising measures or management plans?
4. Rigorous Feedback
Vague language, generic answers, and lack of practical awareness are flagged immediately. Feedback is delivered thoughtfully, but evaluation is never lenient.
5. Reality Checks Based on Real Cases
Misalignments between your answers and outcomes that would occur in practice are corrected, and you advance to the next level of difficulty.
