When investors were asked if they were happy with the quality of the information that
was freely offered to them by GPs during their fundraising efforts, the results were positive,
with 73 percent saying that they were happy most of the time with the information
and 24 percent saying that they were happy some of the time. Three percent of investors
were happy all of the time with the information and no investors said that they had never
been happy with it. This is to be expected, as during the fundraising process, it is in the
interest of GPs to sell themselves and provide the most attractive information to potential
investors. However, there is room for improvement in terms of the quality provided by
GPs, with just over a fifth of investors revealing that they have been happy only some of the
time. With 76 percent of investors happy at least most of the time with the information
provided to them, the way GPs organise their fundraising processes does not need to be
radically reorganised for the purpose of providing information of a greater quality, but may
require some smaller modifications.
