Ariska Capital is an investment consulting firm specializing in private capital. We advise leading family offices, foundations, and other sophisticated investors on building and managing high-performing private equity and private credit portfolios across North America, Europe, Asia, and emerging markets.
Our services span the full investment lifecycle:
- Strategic Asset Allocation – We work closely with clients to design resilient private markets strategies that deliver sustainable results across cycles. This includes developing long-term allocation roadmaps, optimizing pacing and deployment models, balancing commitments across vintages, geographies, and strategies, and running stress-tested scenario analyses. Our approach ensures portfolios are not only positioned for growth, but also fortified against market volatility and liquidity constraints.
- Sourcing Fund Opportunities – We identify and curate investment opportunities across the global private markets landscape by leveraging deep industry networks, market intelligence, and direct engagement with leading managers. This ensures clients gain access to both established and emerging funds that align with their strategic objectives.
- Fund Due Diligence – We conduct rigorous, end-to-end evaluations of private equity, private credit, infrastructure, real estate, natural resource, and secondaries funds. Our diligence process integrates quantitative benchmarking, attribution and track record analysis, operational and governance assessments, and collaboration with leading legal and tax advisors to incorporate structuring considerations. We go beyond manager marketing to uncover true sources of performance and alignment, delivering independent, data-driven recommendations designed to withstand scrutiny at the investment committee level.
- Transacting Fund Stakes – We guide clients through the full execution process, including subscription negotiations, side letter reviews, and coordination with legal, tax, and administrative parties. Our role ensures smooth, efficient transactions that safeguard client interests while maintaining alignment with long-term portfolio strategy.
- Portfolio Management – We help clients actively manage their private capital programs by monitoring fund performance, tracking cash flows, benchmarking outcomes against peers, and advising on re-ups, secondary sales, and liquidity planning. Our ongoing oversight ensures portfolios remain aligned with client objectives while capturing opportunities to enhance returns and mitigate risks over time.
