Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at NFI Advisors?
Nasri F. Imam, the firm's founder, serves as Chairman and CEO and is the key investment decision-maker. In small, founder-led asset managers, portfolio construction and deal underwriting typically center on the founding principal. The firm has not publicly disclosed additional named investment committee members.
Does NFI Advisors manage both public and private investments?
Yes. NFI runs a concentrated, long-only public equity strategy alongside a private equity program focused on lower-middle-market buyouts. This hybrid structure is unusual at the firm's scale. Institutions evaluating NFI should confirm current allocations between public and private vehicles, as the firm does not publicly report segmented AUM.
What is NFI Advisors' known posture on co-investments?
The firm has participated in co-investment structures in its private equity transactions, typically alongside regional partners. However, NFI does not widely market co-investment opportunities to external LPs. A potential allocator should request a representative list of recent co-investor relationships directly from the firm during diligence.
Has NFI Advisors disclosed its current assets under management?
No. NFI Advisors does not publicly disclose its AUM. Based on its regulatory filings, staff size, and deal activity, Altss estimates the firm manages between $100 million and $500 million in aggregate across its strategies.
What investment stages does NFI Advisors typically target in private equity?
NFI targets control and minority investments in the lower middle market. The firm looks for established, cash-flow-positive businesses, typically in business services, healthcare, and niche industrials. It does not pursue venture-stage or growth-equity deals based on public record review.
