Does the sponsor invest in their deals / Why are they investing such a small amount?
赞助商是否投资于他们的交易/他们为什么投资这么少？
Good sponsors invest alongside LPs in their deals. If a Sponsor does not co-invest, their interests may not be aligned with the investor. If a sponsor has put together a strong deal, they should want to share in the success of a project. Sponsors often participate in multiple deals throughout the year, which is why sometimes their share in a given deal may seem relatively limited, on paper. Furthermore, most Sponsors are also the loan guarantors and require some liquidity in their personal balance sheets. Structurally, sponsors are exposed to greater degrees of personal risk than many of their counterparts.
Smartland invests in its deals alongside with investors. A small portion is contributed by the sponsors to illustrate the belief in and alignment with Smartland’s offerings. In other words, sponsor involvement is a way for them to “put their money where their mouth is” and demonstrate that they truly think the proposed investment is worth taking a risk on.
优秀的发起人与 LP 一起投资他们的交易。 如果保荐人不共同投资，他们的利益可能与投资者不一致。 如果赞助商达成了一笔强有力的交易，他们应该希望分享项目的成功。 保荐人通常全年参与多项交易，这就是为什么有时他们在给定交易中的份额在纸面上看起来相对有限。 此外，大多数发起人也是贷款担保人，需要在个人资产负债表中有一定的流动性。 从结构上讲，发起人比许多同行面临更大程度的个人风险。
Smartland 与投资者一起投资其交易。 赞助商贡献了一小部分来说明对 Smartland 产品的信任和一致性。 换句话说，赞助商参与是他们“把钱放在嘴边”并证明他们真的认为拟议投资值得冒险的一种方式。
