What is a placement agent?

A placement agent helps developers or fund managers raise capital by connecting them with potential investors. In the context of real estate private equity, a placement agent assists in raising capital from family offices, high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors such as private equity funds, banks, pensions funds and endowments. The placement agent typically helps in marketing the intended project to potential investors, structuring the fundraising process, and navigating requirements.

In summary, a placement agent acts as an intermediary between developers seeking capital and potential investors, playing a crucial role in sourcing the capital to enable projects to progress.
