Private Markets Advisory for Institutional Investors and Family Offices

Expert advisory on venture capital, private equity, and alternative investments — helping LPs and direct investors make better private markets decisions.

Private Markets Advisory

Private markets — spanning venture capital, private equity, private credit, real assets, and infrastructure — are a core component of institutional portfolios globally. Yet navigating this landscape requires specialised knowledge, extensive networks, and rigorous analytical frameworks that most investors do not maintain in-house.

BB Advisory provides independent private markets advisory to institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and corporate investors. We support clients across the full investment lifecycle: manager research, fund due diligence, direct investment analysis, and ongoing portfolio monitoring.

Example Engagement

Advising a GCC Sovereign Fund on LP Manager Selection

A leading GCC-based institutional investor engaged BB Advisory to evaluate a series of LP commitments to global venture capital funds — spanning funds in the US, Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

Our work covered fund strategy assessment, portfolio analysis, team track record review, reference calls with founders and co-investors, and full LP economic review. Each engagement resulted in a detailed investment memo and recommendation.

Independence Matters

Our private markets advisory is genuinely independent — we do not manage funds, receive placement fees, or have conflicts of interest with the managers we evaluate. Our sole obligation is to our clients' investment success.

  • No fund management conflicts
  • No placement fee relationships
  • Senior-led analysis on every engagement
  • Transparent, objective recommendations
