Who We Are
Our private markets research team has the expertise and experience to conduct rigorous due diligence evaluations of direct private equity (from venture capital to distressed) and real assets (real estate, energy, timber, etc.) fund managers as well as fund-of-fund managers, seeking managers demonstrating a differentiated and sustainable competitive advantage in creating economic value.  We help optimize private market programs with disciplined and customized approaches for diverse client situations.  Hammond models portfolio cash flows related to existing and projected commitments to help clients implement private market investment programs and our proprietary monitoring and reporting system provides monthly portfolio visibility.  We have relationships with many of the most sought after fund managers and are able to leverage our clients’ aggregate annual commitments to the benefit of each of our clients.  Also, due to the long-term commitment and illiquid nature of investing in private markets, we believe that alignment of interests between the manager and investors is critical.

The Alternative Investment Report is a semi-annual review of the hedge fund, private equity and real asset markets. It summarizes performance as well as recent market developments and their potential impact on alternative investment strategies.
