ELEPHANT

Overview

Elephant is a multifaceted fund manager that operates primarily through pooled investment vehicles, with its activity concentrated in venture capital and a smaller hedge fund presence. The firm serves institutional clients and typically acts as sponsor, general partner and managing member for the funds it runs, taking an active role in deal selection, portfolio construction and ongoing management. Elephant charges a mix of percentage-of-AUM fees and performance-based fees, reflecting a traditional manager-plus-carry structure common to venture and hedge fund managers. Investment preference is strongly tilted toward private markets: the firm’s largest exposure is to venture capital strategies, with a bulk of its capital organized into closed-end VC funds. Elephant is not an active ESG investor and does not present itself as a multi-state adviser for retail clients; its structure and client base indicate a focus on institutional limited partners and sophisticated investors.
