据《财富》杂志查阅的披露信息显示,安德森·霍洛维茨(Andreessen Horowitz)计划募集首个私募股权基金,这是该风险资本巨头正在拓展新业务的又一信号。
在3月底提交给美国证券交易委员会(Securities and Exchange Commission)的文件显示,这只基金将被命名为a16z Perennial私募股权基金(a16z Perennial Private Equity Fund),将“投资私募股权类资产”,但没有披露其他细节或启动日期。至于该基金是否将直接投资公司,或者它是否将投资第三方私募股权基金,这仍是未知数。
a16z基金的发言人拒绝置评。
马克·安德森和本·霍洛维茨在互联网时代初期作为创始人,后来又作为投资人,在早期风险投资领域赚取了最初的财富。a16z正是崛起于这个领域,转向收购业务将是该基金一个值得关注的转变。A16z也一直在向其他领域拓展,首次推出了公共投资战略,并聘请学者和研究人员来影响科技和金融行业的政策制定。近年来,柏尚投资(Bessemer Venture Partners)等公司也推出了私募股权基金。
安德森·霍洛维茨公司是通过其财富管理部门Perennial披露了这一消息。Perennial成立于2022年,目标是为已经与Perennial建立合作关系的企业家和投资者的家族管理个人财富和慈善事业。顾名思义,新私募股权基金可能要迎合这些客户的需求。公司同时经营家族理财办公室和风险投资基金的情况并不多见——尽管Iconiq Capital以这种方式运营已有十年之久。
Perennial由在a16z长期担任投资者关系主管的斯科特·库珀创立,由多家族理财办公室乔丹·帕克集团(Jordan Park Group)前首席投资官米歇尔·德尔布诺负责投资事务。根据网站档案,最早在去年秋天出现的a16z网站的一个新页面显示,安德森已经为新部门招募了14名员工,其中许多人拥有家族理财办公室或超高净值财富管理公司(如瑞银(UBS)或乔丹·帕克集团等)的从业背景,他们负责管理客户的资金、遗产规划和慈善事业。根据披露的信息,截至5月中旬,该公司已经吸引了约19位客户,管理着8.22亿美元的资产。
作为披露信息的一部分,安德森还表示,预计在“不久的将来”,将首次关闭其家族理财办公室部门的两只新基金:申报文件显示,其中一只是投资房地产的实物资产基金,另一只是专注于“创收和多元化策略的多元化投资”基金。(财富中文网)

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.
