About Allocator One
At Allocator One, we have created a unique fund model designed to invest in the most promising first-time fund managers worldwide while optimizing fees. With a focus on the highly favorable prospects for the 2023/2024 fund vintages, our team has accelerated its efforts to seize this unique opportunity. We pride ourselves on being the preferred anchor investor for exceptional first-time fund managers, offering unparalleled access, expertise, and operational support.
Our Focus on First-Time Fund Managers
Allocator One’s focus on first-time fund managers is driven by a simple yet compelling fact: historically, top-performing funds with assets under $50 million, led by emerging managers, have delivered returns that are more than three times higher over a 10-year horizon compared to their peers of larger fund sizes. Furthermore, the fund vintages of 2023/2024 in our pipeline are poised to enjoy an additional boost in returns. Venture capital funds that originate during economic recessions have consistently achieved returns that are 15%-30% higher compared to those raised in the preceding years, across various performance percentiles.
Optimizing Fees and Building Partnerships
We believe in optimizing fees while nurturing partnerships with first-time fund managers from the very beginning. Our goal is to enhance investment terms by actively contributing to the success of these funds. Allocator One has already established itself as a global brand in the realm of emerging managers, thanks to our extensive international investor network. In just two months since our launch, we have received over 300 applications, a testament to our commitment to supporting emerging talent. Our team goes beyond traditional investing; we offer to act as “co-builders,” incorporating emerging managers into our unique Allocator One program, often likened to a “Y Combinator for Capital Allocators.” We provide critical support in areas such as regulation, administration, and structure.
