The Tranche Mandate
The Tranche Mandate is a single capital raise of $50 million or under. We structure the offering, prepare the materials, take it to the institutions we already cover across North America, Europe and the Gulf, and make the introductions directly.
The mandate opens at $5,000, payable once we accept it and credited in full against the success fee on close. The success fee is 2% to 4% of capital raised.

allocator side
The bench
Who reads the raise first.
David Hunter · Senior advisor
24 years on the allocator side of institutional capital, including $7B+ in pension assets at HSBC and the $40B Texas Municipal Retirement System.
What that means for the raise
Materials are read by the person who used to decline them. Every objection an investor would raise is raised here first, while there is still time to act on it.
Where the capital comes from
North America, Europe, the Gulf.
Worked in parallel, not in sequence. A raise shown to 1 pool of capital gets priced by 1 pool of capital.
Pensions and endowments
Public and corporate pension systems, university endowments, and the family offices sitting alongside them.
Institutions and funds of funds
Insurers, pension pools and funds of funds that write on a fixed annual schedule, so the windows are known.
Sovereign-adjacent capital
Sovereign-adjacent vehicles and family conglomerates across the GCC, reached directly rather than referred.
The mandate
The first 4 weeks.
Everybody claims relationships. Almost nobody shows the list.
Raise architecture
How the raise is structured, priced and positioned, read the way an institutional investor reads it.
The first conversations
The raise goes to institutions the bench already covers, while the wider list is built alongside it.
Materials
The documents that go out, written for the investor rather than for the founder who commissioned them.
The named list
A named list of institutions deploying into the sector now, with the size each writes and the route in.
Introductions
Introductions are made directly, and we report what came back, including the refusals and the reasoning.
The economics
How it settles.
Move the amount to the size of the raise.

Questions
Before you decide.
Who does the work?
Mandates are never handed down to an analyst or an associate. Each one is carried by our 3 decision makers, David Hunter, our senior advisor, Shayan Mohammed, our managing director, and Anas Ansar, with Abbas Chotia as the point of contact throughout.
What size raises do you take?
Anything up to $50 million, and the mandate runs the same way whether the number is $6 million or $40 million.
Which investors do you reach?
Institutions that deploy at this size across all 3 markets, approached directly rather than through a referral chain.
How quickly does it start?
Inside 2 weeks, and what the mandate builds is relationships with the people who write the cheques.
What happens to the $5,000?
It comes off the success fee in full when the raise closes.
Do you require exclusivity?
No, the client process runs in parallel throughout and we charge only on capital we introduce.
