Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Fairtree?
Fairtree does not publicly name its investment committee or key decision-makers on its website or LinkedIn. The firm states it employs 65 investment professionals, but individual leadership roles are not disclosed.
How does Fairtree source proprietary deal flow?
Fairtree’s public materials do not describe a proprietary sourcing model. It operates offices in South Africa, Namibia, the UK, Guernsey, and the Netherlands, suggesting a degree of local-market access, but the sourcing process is not detailed.
Is Fairtree a single family office or a traditional asset manager?
Fairtree is structured as a traditional asset manager, not a family office. It serves both local and offshore clients and offers strategies across hedge funds, private equity, and long-only portfolios.
Does Fairtree co-invest alongside external GPs?
The firm’s public materials list private equity and hedge fund strategies but do not specify a co-investment program or club-deal structures. No external co-investment partners are named.
What investment stages does Fairtree target?
Fairtree’s alternative strategies cover early-stage, seed, start-up, expansion, and growth-stage investments, alongside hedge fund and real asset allocations.
