Helix Associates | Why Choose Helix?  |
Helix is a leading private equity placement agent based in London and New York which offers an unrivalled service both to General Partners (GPs) and sophisticated investors (Limited Partners [LPs]). Under Jefferies’ ownership and leveraging its resources, Helix has extended its presence in the US and Canada. Helix accepts only a small number of mandates each year, so that it can devote its full attention and due diligence resources to each fund. The Managing Directors also align their interests with those of both General and Limited Partners by making personal investments in offerings raised by Helix.
Helix maintains a global network of institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals with whom it has long relationships of trust. Helix’s discriminating approach to fund selection ensures that it presents only high-quality funds to its investors; and its focus on rigorous due diligence enables investors to make their decisions on the basis of well-researched information. Helix's mandate selections are controlled by its Managing Directors, so investors can rely on its independent judgement. Helix does not simply introduce funds to its investor network, but instead seeks to build deep relationships, through which it can gain an insight into the investment strategy of each investor. This means that Helix will only present a fund to an investor, if it is likely to meet the latter’s investment criteria.
Helix can provide GPs with access to a global network of sophisticated investors. This coverage is strengthened and expanded through Helix’s affiliation with its global partners. Because Helix is constantly raising funds, its investment professionals maintain an up-to-date awareness of current investor requirements. The firm’s investment professionals have decades of collective experience in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of an offering, developing a cogent case for investment, and advocating it effectively. With this knowledge and experience, Helix can ensure that GPs prepare due diligence material which meets current market standards and investor needs. Helix’s knowledge of individual investors’ requirements also enables it to identify those investors who will be most interested in a particular fund. In this way, Helix can ensure a smooth, focused and rapid fund-raising effort.
