Asian Investor article features comments by Doug Coulter on LP priorities
In an article by Asian Investor, Doug Coulter, Partner at LGT Capital Partners, talks about Asian private equity managers’ priorities as they increasingly seek proof of performance.
According to Doug, DPI visibility has become the most decisive filter in LP decision-making. Additionally, he considers a proven exit track record, strategy clarity and sector depth to be key.
Doug highlights that the specialization in Japanese buyouts and Indian growth have gained significant LP attention in the past two years. While these are not the only approaches attracting capital, a distinctive angle or deep sector expertise have now become prerequisites rather than differentiators.
Turning to the evolving continuation vehicle (CV) market, Doug explains that quality is the gating factor. Against this backdrop, LPs are increasingly demanding independent fairness opinions and cleaner alignment on economics.
