How does a real estate fund manager land a $500 million commitment from one of the world's largest insurers when his firm is barely two years old?

Discover the answers with a real playbook from someone who actually did in this  episode of Making Billions with Ryan Miller.

This week on Making Billions, Ryan Miller sits down with Josh Parker, the founder of Ancora, who built a half-billion-dollar partnership with Legal & General, by doing three things that every fund manager, emerging GP, and capital allocator needs to understand: reputation, relationships, and repeatable results. 

Josh breaks down exactly how that deal happened, what the two-year closing process looked like, how COVID nearly derailed it, and why patience is the single most underrated skill in institutional fundraising. 

If you are wondering how to raise institutional capital, how to make a fund institutional ready, or how fund managers maintain conviction during uncertain markets, this conversation is a must listen for you!
