Fund Placement and Advisory

Crito’s core service is to raise capital for alternative fund managers. We plan and execute these campaigns for our clients. We provide advice to managers who wish to rise above the crowded marketplace. We position clients for success by assisting with the creation of impactful materials and communication techniques. We understand best practices for team structure and compensation and we keep abreast of the changing dynamics of the business. We have significant experience evaluating fund structures, domicile choice and adding value by assisting our clients in transforming their investment practices.

Co-Investment Placement

We have raised equity and debt capital for early to late stage companies across the industry spectrum. We have completed projects on behalf of general partners seeking co-investment capital for portfolio companies, and have assisted independent sponsors in their efforts to fund investments on a deal-by-deal basis.

Secondary Advisory

Crito utilizes the secondary market to create strategic alternatives for clients who are seeking liquidity for their limited partners. Often these General Partners will also need to add fresh capital to an existing fund or to create a successor vehicle.

Crito prepares and focuses the secondary marketing materials on the key metrics secondary buyers want to see. We endeavor to generate multiple bids quickly and to maximize value. Crito maintains relationships with many secondary buyers and is able to target transactions to the buyer’s specific interests and to streamline the process.

Private Company Capital Placement

As a boutique investment bank, Crito raises capital for private companies across the growth and industry spectrums. The firm provides innovative financing solutions, drawing on the team’s deep expertise in the private credit and equity markets.

Regulatory Services

We enable groups of talented professionals to grow their placement businesses by providing regulatory supervisory services to registered persons in the US and appointed representatives in the UK. We also provide SEC Rule 15a-6 chaperoning services to non-US brokers seeking access to the US capital markets exclusively for private placement distribution. We are able to offer an integrated service to UK placement agent clients which includes both FCA cover and access to the US market through chaperoning.
