Chicago FABF has announced it is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to engage investment consultants for its upcoming fund strategy. The announcement was posted on the PE International portal, drawing attention from firms specializing in private equity advisory services.

The RFP, slated for release on July 14, 2025, will outline the criteria for selection, including track record, fee structure, and geographic focus. FABF seeks partners who can navigate the evolving LP‑GP landscape and deliver robust performance metrics.

Investors and placement agents are expected to review the full RFP on the PEI database, which also hosts the PEI analyser of the world’s largest private equity firms. Subscribing provides access to detailed investor intentions and preferences data.

The move reflects a broader trend toward the democratization of private equity, as firms increasingly look to specialized consultants for strategic insight. Interested parties should register on the PE International site to receive updates and submit proposals before the deadline.
