Grafine Partners, a NYC-based private investment firm, has made waves in the world of private equity with the closing of its inaugural strategy, Grafine Capital I. With a total of approximately $600m in capital commitments, Grafine has caught the attention of institutional investors looking for new ways to generate returns.
What sets Grafine apart is its unique approach to investing. The firm provides anchor LP capital and institutional-level support to first-time funds led by experienced private markets investors. In return, LPs gain access to revenue sharing and co-investment opportunities, creating a mutually beneficial relationship.
Already, Grafine has deployed a significant portion of its capital into three promising first-time managers. From Ascendant Capital Partners’ focus on real estate to Stanley Capital Partners’ European mid-market investments, Grafine is backing a diverse range of strategies.
Led by Elizabeth Weymouth, Grafine is at the forefront of enabling institutional investors to explore innovative avenues for private capital investment. The firm’s focus on alignment of incentives sets it apart in an industry often plagued by conflicts of interest.
As Grafine launches its second strategy, centered on co-investments, the firm continues to pave the way for a new generation of talented private market investors. With a keen eye for high-risk, high-reward opportunities, Grafine is shaping the future of private equity investment.
