Placement · Emerging Managers
New Guard Partners is a placement advisory firm for emerging private markets managers. We work with a small roster, screen each mandate like an allocator, and stay economically aligned to the close.
A focused roster. A disciplined process.
Five-client cap. Senior focus and day-to-day immersion on every mandate. Owner's mindset — we don't win on retainers or volume, only when your fund closes. KPIs tied to capital raised, quality of LP engagement, and progress to close.
If your fund does not pass, we tell you why, specifically, with a path to fixing it.
Five stages, with two partners in the room for every one of them: Kickoff, Agreement, Deep Dive Week, Soft Launch, and Full Go-To-Market.
A focused roster, matched to the raise in front of it.
A direct line to the allocators who matter — roughly 3,500 active LPs covered, with domestic depth and global reach. $500M+ closed since 2024 across all 50 U.S. states.
When we call, the screen has already run.
New Guard exists to raise capital for emerging managers. It also exists to protect the attention of the allocators we call. Our process is built around the way LPs actually evaluate new managers.
An external LP investment committee pressure-tests the managers we represent.
We do not send everything we see. We do not run directly competing mandates. We do not manufacture urgency, and we do not treat a polite meeting as progress.
Built around partner attention. New Guard is intentionally small — the model only works if the people making the judgment are also doing the work.
New Guard uses an external LP investment committee of senior allocators to pressure-test the mandates it represents.
Request a conversation — a 25-minute call, and a straight answer on fit, including no. We take five clients at a time, so the first conversation is about fit in both directions.
