Overview
Fisher Lynch is a boutique private equity firm focused on investments in private equity
buyout funds, venture capital funds, and sponsored co-investments. Fisher Lynch was
founded in 2003. The principal owners of Fisher Lynch is Brett Fisher.
Fisher Lynch’s investment advisory business is principally focused on primary
investments in private investment funds through its primary funds of funds program (the
“Primary Funds”) and direct or indirect investments in portfolio companies through its
co-investment program (the “Co-Investment Funds,” and collectively with the Primary
Funds, the “Fisher Lynch Funds”).
Through the Primary Funds, Fisher Lynch seeks to provide its investors with exposure to
a diversified portfolio of private equity buyout and venture capital funds. Within the
buyout and venture capital segments, Fisher Lynch focuses on industry and strategy-
focused funds as well as highly-diversified funds. Fisher Lynch endeavors to construct
Primary Fund portfolios that provide appropriate diversification to manage concentration
and illiquidity risk, but not so diversified as to either dilute exposure to the best
investment opportunities or limit the overall potential for significant capital appreciation.
Through the Co-Investment Funds, Fisher Lynch seeks to invest alongside a variety of
experienced private equity fund managers in direct portfolio company investments.
Fisher Lynch endeavors to provide its investors with a diversified portfolio of private
portfolio companies with sufficient diversification to mitigate the risk of excessive
exposure to a particular macro or secular risk. Similar to the Primary Funds, Fisher Lynch
builds co-investment portfolios that it believes are diversified enough to appropriately
manage concentration risk, but not so diversified as to dilute exposure to the best
investment opportunities. While the Co-Investment Funds primarily focus on leveraged
buyout and growth equity transactions, other strategies are also considered.
Fisher Lynch tailors its advisory services to the specific investment objectives and
restrictions of each Fisher Lynch Fund pursuant to
the investment guidelines and
restrictions set forth in each Fisher Lynch Fund’s limited partnership agreement and other
governing documents. Investors and prospective investors of each Fisher Lynch Fund
should refer to the confidential private placement memorandum (if any), limited
partnership agreement and other governing documents of the applicable Fisher Lynch
Fund (collectively, the “Governing Documents”) for complete information on the
investment objectives and investment restrictions with respect to such Fisher Lynch
Fund. There is no assurance that any of the Fisher Lynch Funds’ investment objectives
will be achieved.
The Fisher Lynch Funds are offered exclusively to accredited investors and/or qualified
purchasers pursuant to Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (as amended, the “Company Act”), and are therefore not required to register as
investment companies under the Company Act in reliance upon certain exemptions
available to private investment funds whose securities are not publicly offered. A related
entity of Fisher Lynch generally acts as general partner of each Fisher Lynch Fund, and
Fisher Lynch is the investment manager of each Fisher Lynch Fund.
In accordance with common industry practice, one or more of the Fisher Lynch Funds’
general partners may enter into “side letters” or similar agreements with certain investors
pursuant to which the general partner grants the investor specific rights, benefits, or
privileges that are not made available to investors generally. Such agreements will be
disclosed only to those actual or potential investors in a Fisher Lynch Fund that have
separately negotiated with the general partner of such Fisher Lynch Fund for the right to
review “side letters” or similar agreements.
Fisher Lynch does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
Fisher Lynch manages all assets on a discretionary basis in accordance with the terms and
conditions of each Fisher Lynch Fund’s Governing Documents. As of September 30,
2023, the amount of assets Fisher Lynch manages on a discretionary basis is
$6,416,356,102.
