Lower Middle Market Weekly Outlook

According to Preqin, 2013 was a good year to be an LP. The organization reported that “institutional investors received $568bn in distributions from their private equity investments last year, the highest annual amount ever recorded.”

In other news, Shake Shack is going public and we announced the completion of our Series B last week, led by Comcast Ventures.

Opinions:
