For Emerging Managers
Fasttrack Your Fundraise Through Warehousing: How Emerging Managers Can Leverage Mara’s SPV Solutions
For emerging fund managers, the path to launching a successful fund can be challenging. From securing initial capital to warehousing assets for your next fund, efficient and compliant structuring is essential. Mara Invest offers a streamlined solution with our all-in-one SPV platform, designed to simplify these processes and empower emerging managers to focus on building their track record and attracting investors.
The Challenge: Securing Initial Capital and Warehousing Assets
Emerging fund managers often face unique challenges:
Raising capital for a first-time fund can be difficult, especially when dealing with smaller investors or friends and family.
Emerging managers are typically cash-strapped so having low-cost administrative solutions for their fund is essential.
Identifying and securing attractive investment opportunities before launching a fund requires a flexible and efficient structuring solution.
Ensuring compliance with securities laws and regulations when dealing with multiple investors or warehousing assets can be complex and costly.

How to Set Up an SPV with Mara for Emerging Managers
Case Study: Helping Players Fund Warehouse Assets Prior to the Launch of Their Fund
We enjoy a close relationship with Players Fund, helping them with SPVs for their direct deals and also structuring feeder SPVs into their main fund.
Prior to the launch of their fund, Players Fund were presented with many compelling deal flow but had not legally incorporated their fund yet. We helped Players Fund not only transact on several investments, providing a valuable solution to keep them earning fees prior to the fund, but helped them also transfer some of these assets into the fund, so incoming investors into that fund were presented with a “seeded” portfolio, giving them direct exposure.
