How it works
Initial screening
Every opportunity begins with a structured screening against minimum thresholds for deal size, sponsor track record, and sector alignment. This stage eliminates unsuitable options before deeper analysis begins.
Due diligence
Qualified deals move into a detailed review of financial models, legal structures, and governance terms. Analysts compare projected outcomes against historical benchmarks and stress-test assumptions.
Final allocation
Approved participants receive documentation outlining their commitment, fee schedule, and reporting cadence. Capital is deployed only after all parties confirm alignment on terms.

Common misconceptions
Many assume co-investing demands institutional-scale capital or insider connections. In
practice, minimum commitments vary widely, and structured vehicles now open access
beyond traditional gatekeepers. Another myth holds that reduced fees automatically mean
better outcomes. While fee savings matter, the quality of due diligence and the
alignment of interests between sponsor and participant remain the decisive variables. A
third misconception suggests these deals carry no downside. Every direct allocation
involves exposure to the underlying asset, and participants should expect the same
volatility as the primary fund, concentrated in a single transaction rather than spread
across a portfolio.
What to evaluate
Before committing, examine four dimensions: the sponsor's realized performance across prior funds, not just marketed returns; the specific rights and protections embedded in the deal documents; the liquidity profile and expected holding period; and how this single allocation interacts with existing holdings. A deal that looks attractive in isolation may distort sector concentration or extend average duration beyond comfort levels. The discipline lies in assessing fit within the broader picture, not judging the transaction on its own merits.
Deal types
Opportunities span several structures and sectors
Healthcare services
Clinics, specialty practices, and outpatient networks attract interest from
operators seeking stable demand and demographic tailwinds across Canadian
markets.
Enterprise software
Recurring revenue models and established customer bases in B2B platforms offer visibility into cash flows that support longer holding periods.
Advanced manufacturing
Niche producers with defensible market positions and operational improvement
potential present opportunities for value creation beyond financial engineering.
Supply chain infrastructure
Warehousing and last-mile networks benefit from structural shifts in consumer
behavior and ongoing demand for efficient distribution capacity.
Risk considerations
Direct participation concentrates exposure in a single transaction rather than
diversifying across a fund portfolio. This amplifies both upside potential and downside
risk. Participants should also consider the illiquidity typical of private structures,
where exit timing depends on sponsor decisions or market conditions rather than
individual choice. Governance rights vary by deal; some offerings include board
representation, while others limit participants to information rights with no
operational influence. Understanding these trade-offs before committing capital is
essential to avoiding mismatched expectations.
Why direct participation
A growing segment of investors wants deal-level transparency without building an internal private equity team
Brellaqivor connects qualified individuals with vetted co-investment opportunities alongside established sponsors. The focus remains on thorough evaluation, clear documentation, and alignment of interests rather than volume or speed. Each opportunity undergoes the same analytical review applied to institutional commitments, adapted for participants making direct allocations.
Evaluation framework

Sector dynamics
Assess competitive positioning, regulatory environment, and demand drivers that could affect the asset's performance over the expected holding period.
Portfolio fit
Evaluate how this single commitment affects overall concentration, liquidity, and correlation with existing holdings.
