Alignment Beyond Economics

Why family office alignment extends beyond GP commitment and carry — values, time horizon, and exit philosophy.

Most fund managers think alignment means GP commitment and carried interest. This works for institutional capital but misses what families actually evaluate. Family offices assess alignment across multiple dimensions: values, time horizon, communication style, and exit philosophy. A manager might be economically aligned but culturally incompatible.
