Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at the Genuine Fund?
The Genuine Fund does not publicly disclose its leadership team or investment committee members. No named principals are identifiable from public sources, and the firm's website (genuinesolutions.co.uk) does not list a team page. This lack of transparency makes it impossible to confirm who controls capital deployment.
How does the Genuine Fund source proprietary deal flow?
The firm has not publicly detailed its sourcing model. Given its broad stage focus (seed through growth) and Shanghai base, it may rely on local networks in China's startup ecosystem, but no specific deal-origination strategy—such as direct sourcing, partnership pipelines, or open applications—has been confirmed in public records.
Is the Genuine Fund structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
The Genuine Fund is classified as an asset manager and private equity firm, not a family office (per public record). There is no indication of family-office characteristics such as single-family wealth management or multi-family advisory. Its venture and growth focus aligns with a standard institutional private equity structure.
Does the Genuine Fund participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
No public information exists regarding whether the Genuine Fund commits to external funds or exclusively makes direct investments. Its strategy description covers direct venture and growth investments but does not specify fund-of-funds, co-investment, or SPV activity. The absence of known GP partnerships suggests a direct-deal focus by default.
What investment stages does the Genuine Fund typically target?
The firm targets a wide range of stages: early-stage (seed and startup), expansion/late-stage, and growth (per the firm's official communications). This spans from pre-revenue startups to mature growth companies, though no specific check sizes or minimum ownership thresholds have been disclosed.
Which sectors does the Genuine Fund explicitly avoid?
The Genuine Fund has not published any sector exclusions or negative screens. Its publicly stated strategy does not specify vertical limitations, leaving its sector universe undefined beyond a general venture and growth mandate.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
The source of capital backing the Genuine Fund is undisclosed. It is not known whether it manages institutional capital, high-net-worth commitments, or proprietary wealth. No public filings or reports identify its limited partners or beneficial owners.
