Can anyone provide any info on any SFOs based in NYC that are doing direct PE investments? Well known examples that have dedicated PE arms are MSD Capital (Dell) and Cohen Private Ventures (Cohen). Other examples that [I think] do direct PE are Willett (Bloomberg), Vulcan (Allen), Elysium (Black), and Declaration (Rubenstein).
I know there must be other SFOs that do direct PE, either as a standalone group or as a significant minority of the portfolio. Thanks in advance for the help!
