Investment thesis
Franklin Park focuses exclusively on private market strategies, investing in professionally managed funds and making direct co-investments. Across private equity, private debt, and venture capital, it seeks best-in-class opportunities in less efficient market segments capable of generating high absolute and excess returns over the long term. On the venture side, it targets managers positioned as go-to players in their markets, with established relationships with entrepreneurs and other VCs, favoring value-added earlier-stage strategies primarily in technology and life sciences. It offers commingled funds, custom separate accounts, and advisory accounts with due diligence, legal, monitoring, and reporting support.
