Frequently asked questions

What is a club deal?

It is a transaction in which a small number of investors come together around a specific project, through a dedicated investment vehicle, with full visibility of the asset, the structure and the business plan.

How is it different from investing in a fund?

The investor knows the specific project they are taking part in. It also opens access to projects that sometimes fall outside the criteria of a conventional fund: distinctive concepts, strategic openings or brands in their expansion phase. We compare the two in what is a club deal and how does it differ from a fund.

Who manages the asset and how are co-investors informed?

Co-investors take part directly in the decisions of the vehicle, which is set up with their own legal advisers. Link Capital advises on the structure, provides operational backing and supports co-investors with regular reporting.
