New Era Advisors Launches; Beth Rahn to Provide Fundraising Advisory for Female and Diverse Investment Managers
Beth Rahn, the former Head of Family Capital at McNally Capital, is marking a significant step in her career with the launch of New Era Advisors. This fundraising advisory firm aims to serve a pivotal role in backing female and diverse investment managers across the private markets. With a particular focus on sectors such as private equity, growth equity, venture capital, real estate, and private debt, New Era Advisors is setting out to reshape the landscape of capital allocation.
Rahn brings to the table a robust background in the realm of private investments, with over fifteen years of experience under her belt. Her expertise spans across fundraising and investor relations, notably during her tenure as Head of Family Capital at McNally Capital, a firm specializing in private equity buyouts. Rahn’s career highlights include a strong track record of raising capital for both emerging and established managers, adeptly maneuvering through funds and deal-by-deal models.
At the heart of New Era Advisors is the mission to challenge the traditional dynamics of investment by highlighting and utilizing the often-overlooked potential of female and diverse investment managers. “Study after study has shown that backing female investment managers generates higher returns, and yet women are frequently overlooked in the private markets,” Rahn asserts. By prioritizing investments in female and diverse managers, New Era Advisors envisions not only promoting gender equity but also driving superior returns for investors.
New Era Advisors’ strategy will revolve around fund raises, selectively taking on direct equity raises, encompassing independent sponsors. The firm aims to support emerging managers in their initial fund raises (Funds I through III) as well as assist more seasoned investment managers in expanding their reach and impact. Rahn’s hands-on approach to relationship management, coupled with her talent for communicating complex investment concepts, positions New Era Advisors as a formidable ally to female and diverse investment managers looking to break barriers and scale their ventures.
The establishment of New Era Advisors reflects a commitment to fostering gender equity through strategic capital allocation. Rahn’s innovative approach, backed by a distinguished career in the private markets, sets the stage for New Era Advisors to become a beacon of change, guiding top-performing female and diverse investment managers towards greater recognition and success in the alternative asset classes.
By leveraging a comprehensive network of family office relationships and institutional investors, New Era Advisors eyes a future where gender equity becomes a cornerstone of investment decision-making, leading to more inclusive, equitable, and prosperous financial markets.
