Investment Strategy
Disciplined private market co-investments
We partner with leading private equity sponsors to build diversified portfolios of high-conviction transactions — on terms that put our investors first.
Our Approach
Four principles, rigorously applied
Basso Global Partners pursues a disciplined co-investment strategy built on four core principles — each reinforcing the others to deliver consistent, high-quality exposure to private markets. Click any principle to learn more.
01
Disciplined and active diligence
Speed without sacrificing rigor leveraged through state-of-the-art technology
Our process is designed to move quickly without compromising rigorous diligence and risk assessment. Each opportunity is evaluated across three dimensions:
The Sponsor
We assess the deal team's track record on comparable transactions, their ownership of the thesis, and the deal structure. Strong sponsors are better equipped to address problems and risks earlier in the investment lifecycle.
The Business
We evaluate the company's competitive position, moat, quality and scalability of revenues, margin sustainability, and the execution capability of the value creation plan. We stress-test the assumptions behind the entry valuation and downside scenarios and look for multiple paths to exit.
The Transaction
We review the structure, leverage profile, governance terms, and alignment mechanics. We will not proceed where risks are not clearly understood and mitigated. We evaluate exit options well before entry.
Only high-conviction opportunities with shorter duration holds — where we can clearly articulate both the return case and the floor — are approved.
02
Partnering with Tier 1 sponsors
Top sponsors selected based on an analysis of decades of data
Our deal flow typically comes from sponsors within our established ecosystem. We do not source opportunistically or respond to broad syndications.
We look for sponsors with whom we have invested across multiple cycles, assessed multiple deals, and confirmed a genuine alignment of interests.
03
Securing favorable economics
Institutional quality without blind-pool fee drag
Traditional private equity fund structures carry meaningful fee drag — management fees compound over a decade-long commitment regardless of deployment. Our co-investment strategy changes that equation.
We target transactions with reduced management fees and below-market carried interest, negotiated at the individual deal level. In addition, we only pay management fees on invested capital. The result is a materially more efficient path to private market returns — and a structure where sponsor and investor incentives are more directly aligned.
For investors already allocating to private equity through fund commitments, our co-investment program is a complement that improves the blended economics, risks, and returns of the overall portfolio.
04
Diversified portfolio construction
Resilience built in, quality never traded away
A concentrated co-investment portfolio is exposed to risks that individual deal quality cannot offset. We construct portfolios with deliberate diversification built in from the start.
We diversify across industry sectors, geographic regions, lead sponsors, and vintage years. No single position dominates the portfolio, and no single market cycle defines its performance.
Importantly, diversification does not dilute our quality standard. Every position in the portfolio must meet the same underwriting rigor.
Our Edge
What sets us apart
Six factors that distinguish our approach from other co-investment platforms — and from general private equity fund structures.
Simplifying a complex asset class
Sourcing, evaluating, negotiating, and monitoring co-investments is operationally intensive. We manage the full process, enabling investors to participate in institutional-quality transactions without the high infrastructure cost of single direct deals.
Objective conviction over relationship obligation
Our sponsor relationships open doors — but they do not close deals. Every transaction is evaluated on its own merits, and we often decline opportunities from well-established sponsors where the deal does not meet our requirements.
Speed without compromise
Co-investment windows are short. Our investment process is built to evaluate, decide, and commit in compressed timelines without sacrificing underwriting discipline. We have invested in the processes, relationships, and institutional knowledge that allow us to move at the pace the market requires.
Full alignment with our LPs
We invest alongside our investors in every transaction. There are no side arrangements, no preferential economics, and no structural advantages for the sponsor. Our returns are your returns.
Deep expertise in local markets
With teams across Switzerland, the U.S., and Singapore, we combine the reach of a global investor with on-the-ground familiarity in each of our target markets. This reduces information asymmetry and sharpens our assessment of market-specific risks.
Transparency throughout the lifecycle
We provide detailed reporting at the individual investment level — covering deployment, portfolio company performance, and realization. Investors always know what they own, how it is performing, and why.
Investment Parameters
What we target
Transaction Size
Mid-Market
We focus on buyout transactions where our network, diligence capability, and check size are most competitive.
Geographies
North America & Europe
Primary focus, with selective Asia exposure. We invest where we have direct market knowledge and established sponsor relationships.
Fee Structure
Efficient
Reduced management fees. Attractive, below-market carried interest compared to traditional funds, negotiated at the transaction level.
Sectors
Diversified
Sector-agnostic. Quality of business, strength of sponsor, duration, exit paths, and soundness of transaction structure are our primary filters — not sector allocation targets.
Responsible Investment
ESG considerations are integrated into our diligence process at both the sponsor and company level. We assess material environmental, social, and governance factors as part of our standard evaluation — not as a separate exercise.
We work with our dedicated ESG Advisor to ensure these assessments are rigorous, consistent, and relevant to the specific transaction. Our view is that identifying ESG risks early improves underwriting quality and supports better long-term outcomes for investors and portfolio companies alike.
Our Team
Experienced, global, aligned
Leadership combining decades of institutional investment expertise across private equity, private debt, and public markets.
