Building Strong Relationships with Emerging Managers, with Elizabeth Weindruch Fund Flow

- Investing
On this episode of Fund Flow, host Jon Finger talks with Elizabeth Weindruch (Liz), managing director at Barings, about building lasting relationships with the emerging manager community. When looking for GP partners, Liz seeks those with experience, value alignment and an element of differentiation in their investment strategy.
“You can no longer buy low, sell high, or buy a business and slap a few terms of debt on it and sell in a few years and make a profit,” Liz explains. “There's got to be some level of differentiation to your approach. You need that differentiation to win when you're competing to buy a business, then you also need it to be able to come in and create value.”
Liz shares advice for emerging managers on the different channels they can use to build relationships and expand their network. She recommends meeting as many people as possible and showing up at key events and conferences to maintain those relationships. Later in the episode, Liz explains how her firm approaches diversity and discusses trends to watch over the next 12 months.
