Easiest Path to Invest in Top Quartile PE/VC Funds

As my personal portfolio approaches PWM size I was thinking of dumping a good chunk into top quartile PE and VC funds and just letting them rip.

For accredited investors / qualified purchasers, do I usually go through WM firms like UBS/MS to access these or am I supposed to hunt down those firms myself and contact them to invest?
