In addition to making direct private equity or private credit investments in operating companies, White Wolf also looks to invest with other private fund managers as a limited partner, or as a financing partner.

Our Private Funds strategy is primarily focused on two different business lines: investing in private capital vehicles (Private Fund Investing), and providing fund financing to third party investment managers, general partners and limited partners (Fund Liquidity Solutions).

Through proactive sourcing, a strong market reputation, and extensive middle market networks, we are able to gain access to high-quality funds, co-sponsor opportunities, and fund financing opportunities that span a broad range of market segments and strategies.

 

With deep experience in the middle market, a disciplined approach and longstanding relationships with other fund managers, we seek to offer investors a differentiated exposure to private fund investing.
