The Quick Lowdown

This newsletter is packed with info so here's a quick summary of what's included:

  • Slam Dunk: TIDE Milken Party co-hosted by two-time NBA All-Star Baron Davis πŸ€
  • Spilling the tea at TIDE London πŸ«–
  • Featured on Emerging Manager Monthly πŸ“°
  • TIDE SPARK is the hottest thing since slice bread 🍞
  • For your reading pleasure: Impax & StepStone Reports πŸ“š

Ps. Happy Sunday!
We're bringing sexy back...

Last year, we hosted a side party in honor of DEI and our supporters - because what's the Milken Conference without side parties? It was all the rage so much so that it has been the most highly sought after side event of the Conference. GPs & LPs have been asking us if we were hosting it again but unfortunately we had nothing planned.

Well...that is until a week ago.

Cue in industry's fave Sherif Nahas of Ford Foundation & two-time NBA All-Star Baron Davis. Sherif introduced us to Baron and then boom... πŸ’₯ magic happened. We are now in full blown planning mode for our TIDE Milken Party. Check out the house (thanks, Baron!)

In TIDE fashion Baron is down to sing karaoke. Perhaps we'll see a duet with Baron and TIDE SPARK karaoke superstar Andrew Junkin (CIO of VRS is his side hustle). What should they sing?

Will you be at the Milken Conference?
Yes, I'll be soaking up the Southern Cali sun. β˜€οΈ
No, but I'll be there in spirit.
I don't know what the Milken Conference is.
Spilling the Tea at TIDE London πŸ«–

Our inaugural international event was a success! The speakers spilt the tea and gave thoughtful and engaging insights. We're glad to have amplified the elusive TIDE vibe and energy across the pond. But don't take our word for it. Check out some of the reviews. Even Marcie Frost, CEO of CalPERS, is a fan! 😍

Special thanks to Jose Feliciano of Clearlake Capital for a post-event treat to watch the Chelsea FC vs Manchester United game.

TIDE SPARK is the hottest thing since slice bread 🍞

Remember the days in elementary school when you would play with someone in the playground and from that instant they became your best friend? TIDE SPARK is like that. Maybe it's the Southern Cali sun or the beach in the background but SPARK is like a summer camp where long lasting relationships are made.

Don't miss out on our marquee event. Last chance to register for General Admission ends this month.

Digital tools and innovative products are enabling the financial sector to better serve evolving customer demands, especially in emerging markets where vast unmet needs remain.
In the current macroeconomic environment in which inflation, interest rates, geopolitics and lending conditions remain top of mind for investors, small buyouts (SBOs) may provide a compelling complement to investment portfolios.

In this whitepaper, our private equity research team explores SBOs’ recent resilience, in particular their potential to reliably generate alpha and distributions in uncertain market conditions.
