A Note From Nick Dell, Vice President

This year has tested the capital-raising landscape, with policy uncertainty, macroeconomic trends, and limited investor liquidity. But momentum is shifting — confidence is returning, and I am bullish that the end of 2025 will serve as a positive springboard into a very fruitful 2026.

After five years at Big Path and my experience in private capital markets, I’ve learned to trust the process. There are factors beyond our control. Markets fluctuate, but our approach to raising capital for our fund management clients continues to deliver results even through volatility.

I’m energized by the wins we achieve for our clients. Raising private capital is never easy, yet each investor commitment reminds us why we do what we do.
