Hovey focuses on originating opportunities across North America with compelling top-quartile managers, typically raising funds between $500 million and $2 billion. It also sources direct investments for its institutional investors, which include pension funds, financial institutions, consultants, insurance companies, and family offices.  

Placing the relationship first and valuing integrity and transparency, Hovey advises on all aspects of the fundraising process, including preparation of marketing materials, comprehensive strategic fundraising planning, and distribution. Offering much more than an introductory meeting, the firm brings a true institutional lens to fundraising in private markets, understanding the unique needs, constraints, and diligence required by institutional investors to commit capital to an external manager.
