Ian Charles is a founding partner at Arctos Partners, a $10 billion private equity firm that strives to create valuable solutions to complex problems. In just five years, Arctos has become the leading institutional investor across the five major North American sports leagues. It also serves as a strategic partner to leading private market sponsors with bespoke capital and liquidity solutions. As part of its effort to support both ecosystems, Arctos publishes data-driven research and content under the Arctos Insights umbrella.
Ian is a repeat guest on the show. Our first conversation with
co-founding partner Doc O’Connor describing the sports strategy is
replayed in the feed.
This time around we walk through the changing competitive landscape
of private equity, covering the most important narratives for GPs
and LPs and how both sides are navigating the environment. We
discuss Arctos’ taxonomy of private equity firms and the
implications of its different levels to a GP’s strategic
positioning and right to win. Ian has a long history serving the
private equity market and is unusually insightful and blunt in
describing the complex and evolving marketplace.
