FIRSTavenue covers the significant institutional investors in the developed world (North America, Europe, the Middle East, Japan, Korea and Australia) and the developing world (SE Asia, Greater China, Central Asia and Latin America). We are in dialogue with major investor types: pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, consultants, insurers, family offices, fund of funds, private banks, banks and development finance institutions.

We are differentiated by the breadth and depth of our global reach with investors accessed locally through five global offices. In addition, our understanding of and access to global pension consultants sets us apart. Our staff originate from diverse backgrounds as limited partners, pension consultants, investment banks, alternative investment firms and placement agents. This diversity sets us apart.

We are 100% privately owned and engage on a basis that is fully aligned with our clients.

Process

We believe the key to an efficient capital raise or secondaries advisory assignment is adherence to a thoughtful and thorough process.

FIRSTavenue’s process produces tangible results. We begin every assignment with a customized marketing strategy that sets out clear milestones for success. Through diligence and pre-marketing efforts, we translate investor requirements into well-defined offerings that are positioned for optimal appeal to the marketplace.

Our investor interaction is coordinated by senior members of the project management team to ensure a centralized and solutions-focused approach. We understand client service and pride ourselves on transparent and regular communications with our clients throughout every assignment. Our integrated infrastructure allows us to work effectively across asset classes and continents to deliver seamless global marketing.
