U.S.-based managers interested in permanent capital vehicles and seeking ways to diversify their investor base are increasingly turning to London Stock Exchange. The institutional investor base in London is open to both boutique and well-established asset managers that have a demonstrated track record of success in less liquid or illiquid investment strategies.
