Is there a better time of the year to raise money?
This is a frequent question. After 20 plus years of experience, we have made some general observations. Investors are pretty pre-occupied during the holidays (mid December to mid January). Sometimes there is a mild slowdown around tax time (the first part of April). And the summer is commonly a bit slower due to vacations (this doesn’t mean they don’t invest, it’s just takes a bit more time). That said, the off-times are good times to prepare so one can be ready to hit the streets when the time is ripe. Mid January to the first of June is a peak time and then again early September through mid December. A lot of last minute investing goes on between mid December and the end of the year as investors shuffle portfolios. So don’t count it out, there is always money for good deals!
