A focused investment

approach targeting the top 3% first-time managers globally in VC

 Unique fund model that invests into the top 3% first-time fund managers worldwide on a fee-optimized basis. Allocator One is positioned as the anchor investor of choice for the best first-time fund managers, supporting them with access to other top GPs and LPs, experience and faster go-to-market.

They are taking this opportunity now as they can accelerate their go-to-market and benefit from the very favorable outlook for the 2023/2024 vintages of funds. 

The reason why they have selected this asset class is that first time fund managers lead to higher expected higher returns: Historically, top-performing <$50M funds typically started by emerging managers have achieved 3x+ higher returns over a 10 year time horizon compared to the top performers of all other fund sizes. The fund vintages 2023/2024 in the pipeline right now can expect an additional return uplift: VC funds originated during recessions have achieved 15%-30% higher returns compared to funds raised in the years before across performance percentiles.
