The Quiet Power of Co-Investment Rights

Show Notes

Why family offices prize co-investment rights — optionality and governance value beyond economics.

Co-investment rights let LPs invest directly alongside a fund in specific deals, typically without paying additional management fees or carry. But the economic benefit is secondary to the governance value. Co-investment rights preserve optionality — families can evaluate each major deal against their current portfolio, liquidity needs, and values.
