Private Markets Advisory for Institutional Investors and Family Offices
Expert advisory on venture capital, private equity, and alternative investments — helping LPs and direct investors make better private markets decisions.
Private Markets Advisory
Private markets — spanning venture capital, private equity, private credit, real assets, and infrastructure — are a core component of institutional portfolios globally. Yet navigating this landscape requires specialised knowledge, extensive networks, and rigorous analytical frameworks that most investors do not maintain in-house.
BB Advisory provides independent private markets advisory to institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and corporate investors. We support clients across the full investment lifecycle: manager research, fund due diligence, direct investment analysis, and ongoing portfolio monitoring.

Example Engagement
Advising a GCC Sovereign Fund on LP Manager Selection
A leading GCC-based institutional investor engaged BB Advisory to evaluate a series of LP commitments to global venture capital funds — spanning funds in the US, Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
Our work covered fund strategy assessment, portfolio analysis, team track record review, reference calls with founders and co-investors, and full LP economic review. Each engagement resulted in a detailed investment memo and recommendation.
