Market Testimonials

“The POLARIS team has a deep reach into the German and Swiss markets. They have connected 3i with key local investors, as well as with Tier 2 and Tier 3 names which we would not have been able to identify and approach directly. The team is hungry and efficient, as well as easy to work with”

“Our relationship with POLARIS has been instrumental in progressing our strategic goal of growing in Europe - and the team has delivered results consistently and substantially above expectations. We really appreciate their local insights into European markets and their longstanding and deep personal relationships with LPs, two factors that made a huge difference in our fundraising success. As a firm based outside Europe, we also benefitted greatly from POLARIS' guidance regarding local investment/regulatory requirements for our pitch, as well as for the structuring of European onshore fund vehicles. Moreover, the POLARIS team is fun to work with and I personally like the team's energy level, demonstrated not only during fundraises but also at various running events we initiated together at SuperReturn Berlin, Hong Kong and Singapore”

“POLARIS is our selected long-term partner for Europe, having helped us grow our business outside the US continuously and successfully throughout several fund cycles. The team have done an excellent job highlighting our differentiation and value proposition to their client base, allowing us to fundraise in a time- and cost-efficient fashion. Also noteworthy is the team’s deep understanding of the regulatory environment and their hands-on assistance structuring and raising a European on-shore vehicle, which allowed us to tap into an entirely new client base”

"POLARIS stands out in a crowded field of placement agents with their years of experience, focus on alternative investments, and carefully chosen high quality mandates. They know the Swiss investor landscape very well and they show us relevant products that complement our portfolio. Their team is very respectful of our process and timelines, have provided continued support during the DD process, and as added bonus, they are also fun people to work with!”

"I have known POLARIS for many years now and I am always impressed by the quality of their Private Markets offerings. The fact that we have already implemented multiple joint investment projects should speak for itself. The POLARIS team is very well connected in the European markets, knows the legal-, regulatory and reporting-requirements of its investors and goes beyond other marketers by supporting them actively and very hand-on in all phases of the investment process. Last but not least, it is a real pleasure to work with the team. For all these reasons, I can unreservedly recommend to all fellow LPs as well as GPs to contact POLARIS when it comes to Private Markets/Alternative Investments.”
