GP Informational Roadshows
"Every successful investment journey begins with finding a solid travel companion. "
Nicole Davis, Mercato Partners, Salt Lake City
GP Informational Roadshows are a frictionless comprehensive, multi-day, multi-city initiative for fund managers to meet institutional LP investors in financial hubs for senior-level discussion on private capital investing in high growth markets. With PCD as convener of stature and with the support of local institutions, Informational Roadshows play an important role in developing the asset class and building greater connectivity between private capital fund managers and international LP investors. This is not a fundraising marketing roadshow, nor a conference, rather a journey. Inherently selective, Informational Roadshows are small, intimate gatherings designed to be value-adding and informative for all participants. Typically an Informational Roadshow consists of fewer than 10 fund managers (of which 40% are past participants). Each session generally has between 5 and 9 LPs.
Since launching Informational Roadshows, a closed-door, intimate forum in LP hubs across the globe for senior-level practitioners to discuss private capital investing in high growth markets, the PCD team has facilitated:
- 4,281 private one-to-one LP:GP meetings in
- 43 cities in
- 120 sessions with
- 600+ institutional limited partner investors on behalf of
- 200+ fund managers from 10+ countries

“We appreciate the fund managers traveling into Oslo to see us. This is a highly efficient use of our time and, of course, does not require travel on our part. Thank you. Come back soon with even more GPs next time.” - Norwegian institutional LP investor
“We like the format, and the way you carefully considered LPs' time and constraints. We brought two team members from our office to participate, which was helpful for our small team. We found this a highly useful session.” - Danish family office investor
"I think it provided a very useful mode of interaction between LP’s and GP’s in a much more direct way than is really possible at a Conference. It also allows the ability to be more focused in terms of which Region LP’s we would like to meet, but also from the LP side, which type of GP’s they would like to meet. In addition, it was also a lot of fun and I felt the GP’s actually learnt a lot from each other on the trip." GP
“You make it very easy to get from point A to point B. From the plane to the bus to the hotel, this is the most efficient process!” –GP
