據《財富》雜志查閱的披露信息顯示,安德森·霍洛維茨(Andreessen Horowitz)計劃募集首個私募股權基金,這是該風險資本巨頭正在拓展新業務的又一信號。
在3月底提交給美國證券交易委員會(Securities and Exchange Commission)的文件顯示,這只基金將被命名為a16z Perennial私募股權基金(a16z Perennial Private Equity Fund),將“投資私募股權類資產”,但沒有披露其他細節或啟動日期。至于該基金是否將直接投資公司,或者它是否將投資第三方私募股權基金,這仍是未知數。
a16z基金的發言人拒絕置評。
馬克·安德森和本·霍洛維茨在互聯網時代初期作為創始人,后來又作為投資人,在早期風險投資領域賺取了最初的財富。a16z正是崛起于這個領域,轉向收購業務將是該基金一個值得關注的轉變。A16z也一直在向其他領域拓展,首次推出了公共投資戰略,并聘請學者和研究人員來影響科技和金融行業的政策制定。近年來,柏尚投資(Bessemer Venture Partners)等公司也推出了私募股權基金。
安德森·霍洛維茨公司是通過其財富管理部門Perennial披露了這一消息。Perennial成立于2022年,目標是為已經與Perennial建立合作關系的企業家和投資者的家族管理個人財富和慈善事業。顧名思義,新私募股權基金可能要迎合這些客戶的需求。公司同時經營家族理財辦公室和風險投資基金的情況并不多見——盡管Iconiq Capital以這種方式運營已有十年之久。
Perennial由在a16z長期擔任投資者關系主管的斯科特·庫珀創立,由多家族理財辦公室喬丹·帕克集團(Jordan Park Group)前首席投資官米歇爾·德爾布諾負責投資事務。根據網站檔案,最早在去年秋天出現的a16z網站的一個新頁面顯示,安德森已經為新部門招募了14名員工,其中許多人擁有家族理財辦公室或超高凈值財富管理公司(如瑞銀(UBS)或喬丹·帕克集團等)的從業背景,他們負責管理客戶的資金、遺產規劃和慈善事業。根據披露的信息,截至5月中旬,該公司已經吸引了約19位客戶,管理著8.22億美元的資產。
作為披露信息的一部分,安德森還表示,預計在“不久的將來”,將首次關閉其家族理財辦公室部門的兩只新基金:申報文件顯示,其中一只是投資房地產的實物資產基金,另一只是專注于“創收和多元化策略的多元化投資”基金。(財富中文網)

Andreessen Horowitz plans to raise its first private equity fund, according to disclosures reviewed by Fortune, in yet another sign of the venture capital giant’s push into new businesses.
The documents, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the end of March, say that the fund will be called a16z Perennial Private Equity Fund, and that it will “invest in the private equity asset class,” without revealing further details or a launch date. It’s unclear whether the fund will invest directly in companies or whether it will invest in third-party PE funds.
An a16z spokeswoman declined to comment.
The move into buyouts would be a notable shift for a16z, whose rise has been rooted squarely in the world of early-stage venture capital, where Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz made their initial wealth as founders during the early days of the internet, then later as investors. A16z has been expanding its scope into other areas, too, debuting a public investing strategy and hiring academics and researchers to influence policymaking for the tech and finance industries. Some other firms, including Bessemer Venture Partners, have also launched private equity funds in recent years.
Andreessen Horowitz made the disclosure through its wealth management arm, dubbed Perennial, which was set up in 2022 with the goal of managing the personal wealth and philanthropy for the families of entrepreneurs and investors it had already built relationships with. Based on its name, the new private equity fund may cater to those customers. It’s unusual for firms to run both a family office and VC firm in unison—though Iconiq Capital has for a decade operated this way.
Perennial was started by a16z’s longtime investor relations head Scott Kupor, and its investments are overseen by Michel Del Buono, a former chief investment officer at the multi-family office Jordan Park Group. Andreessen has already brought on 14 people into the new division, many of whom have backgrounds in family offices or ultra-high-net-worth wealth management firms like UBS or Jordan Park, to manage its clients’ money, estate planning, and philanthropic efforts, according to a new page on the a16z website that first appeared last fall, according to website archives. The firm already has attracted approximately 19 clients and $822 million of assets to manage, as of mid-May, according to the disclosures.
As part of the disclosures, Andreessen also said it anticipates in the “near future” a first close of two new funds from its family office division: a real assets fund, which invests in real estate, as well as a “diversifying investments” fund, which focuses on “income-producing and diversifying strategies,” according to the filings.
