Understanding the investment management lifecycle is crucial for making informed decisions at every stage. This lifecycle- from initial introductions to exiting the investment- is vital, and knowing each step improves your strategy and outcomes. Here’s an overview of the investment management lifecycle and how DealSend supports each stage.
Stages of the Life Cycle
The investment lifecycle can be broken down into several key stages, each with distinct activities and objectives.
Intro
The first stage involves identifying and evaluating investment opportunities. This phase includes market research, networking, and initial meetings with potential partners. It sets the foundation for everything that follows.
Due Diligence
Once potential opportunities are identified, the next step is conducting thorough evaluations. Key activities in this stage include financial analysis, risk assessment, and compliance checks. Thorough due diligence ensures the investment is sound and aligns with your goals.
Deal Structuring
In this stage, terms are negotiated, and the deal is structured. This involves contract negotiations, valuation, and legal documentation. It’s crucial to ensure all parties are in agreement and that the deal is properly framed.
Investment
After structuring the deal, it’s time to execute the investment. This involves fund allocation, asset acquisition, and ongoing portfolio management. This stage marks the start of active investment management.
Monitoring
Ongoing management and performance tracking are critical to maintaining the health of your investment. Regular reporting, performance analysis, and risk management are all part of this continuous process.
Exit
The final stage is exiting the investment, which can occur through various methods such as divestiture, IPO, or mergers and acquisitions. Successfully exiting an investment requires careful planning and execution to maximize returns.
