- Mutual FundsA more recent area of concern has been late-stage, pre-IPO tech investing, a category Adams Street generally avoids. This section of the market is usually rational, with investors conducting significant fundamental diligence, making realistic assessments of terminal value, and joining boards to help management teams scale. But it has often become irrational when public tech valuations have risen rapidly. “Casual tourists†with FOMO (fear of missing out) have appeared and taken rapid share of the pre-IPO market, acting like undisciplined traders instead of investors. During the internet bubble, hedge funds and mutual funds stampeded into pre-revenue private internet companies at huge prices, hoping for higher valuations at IPO. The high private valuations encouraged tech CEOs to raise and spend huge sums of money. While the strategy worked briefly, it ended in disaster when public markets corrected. The casual tourists exited the market with terrible returns, leaving private tech CEOs to aggressively cut staff and spending.
