Private equity co-investing has evolved from a niche institutional strategy into an increasingly important part of the private markets ecosystem. As allocators seek greater portfolio customization, fee efficiency and direct exposure to private equity value creation, co-investments have become a growing area of focus. 

In this episode, Alan Flannigan and Andrew Korz sit down with Michael Chen, Co-Head of Direct Equity Investing at Future Standard, to discuss how the co-investment market works, why sponsors offer co-investment opportunities, and what separates successful co-investment platforms from the rest. 

The conversation explores the role of GP relationships, the unique dynamics of middle market co-investing and how allocators are using co-investments alongside primary funds and secondaries to build more diversified private equity portfolios. As the co-investment market continues to grow, understanding how these opportunities are sourced, evaluated, and accessed has become increasingly important for both institutional and private wealth investors.
