Supporting GPs at the GP Level

At the GP level, the focus is on providing support to GPs by acting as a sounding board and offering thought partnership, especially during times when GPs may hesitate to involve the broader LP base. This support extends to areas like portfolio issues, partnership dynamics, and LP dynamics.
