Blueprint Intelligence / LP Archetypes / How to research an investment consultant before an LP meeting
LP Archetypes
Understand the consultant’s research coverage, client base, approval process and role in sourcing or monitoring managers.
Public evidence can establish a useful starting point, but it rarely proves current appetite. A credible brief distinguishes sourced facts, reasonable implications and questions that remain open.
Understand the consultant’s research coverage, client base, approval process and role in sourcing or monitoring managers.
Use a compact evidence set that lets the reader test the answer instead of relying on the assertion alone.
A consultant meeting may be an evaluation for future client use rather than an immediate allocation opportunity.
Label supported facts, partial evidence and missing information separately. Precision is more credible than unsupported completeness.
Ask which clients and mandate types the conversation could ultimately serve.
Record the source, responsible owner and effective date for every material statement. Recheck it whenever the underlying evidence changes.
