We believe Pantheon's reputation in the private equity industry positions us as an investor of choice for many managers raising private equity funds.

Pantheon identifies and accesses outstanding fund managers via several approaches.

Active Research
Pantheon maintains a deep knowledge of the market and participants so that we can identify and access managers believed to be the best in each market segment.


Deep Industry Relationships
The extensive industry experience of the team means that Pantheon has relationships and access to a large number of outstanding firms across the globe.

Spin-Outs from Existing Funds
We have access to a diverse range of spin-out opportunities for fund managers who wish to specialize in specific industries or sectors, or to apply different investment and decision-making processes. A significant number of these groups have become outstanding performers in Pantheon's funds.

Open-Door Policy
Pantheon's policy of being accessible to a broad and diverse range of private equity professionals gives us early access and thorough knowledge of managers.

Sourcing from Secondary Investment Activities
Our investment teams share information about portfolio and fund manager performance to identify the outstanding managers of the future.

Pantheon incorporates both top-down and bottom-up analyses into its screening process, which is designed to identify those investments with greatest potential to deliver superior performance, while ensuring adequate diversification and risk management.

Pantheon uses both quantitative and qualitative techniques to assess fund managers. We have developed a number of proprietary tools to identify manager characteristics that we believe can drive sustainable outperformance.

The entire Pantheon team leverages our experience, research and leadership position in the industry to collaborate and share detailed information about investment opportunities.

All investments require the approval of both the Regional Investment Committee and Investment Management Committee. The RIC is composed of the most experienced local investment professionals. The IMC adds global rigor and consistency to decision making.

Pantheon's processes are designed to systematically monitor the implementation of strategy, investment activity, and realization events are monitored throughout the life of a fund. We are often a lead investor and frequently have seats on fund advisory boards.
