We work with LPs, such as yourselves, who actively invest in private equity funds. These include:
- Corporate pension funds
- Market intermediaries and 'gatekeepers'
- State and Public pension funds
- Foreign institutions
- Insurance companies
- Institutional Asset management firms
- Fund of Funds
- Endowments and foundations
- Family offices
Your Challenge
You invest in Alternative Investments to achieve portfolio diversification and achieve rates of risk-adjusted return above those that accrue from public equities.
Yours is a difficult task:
- Lack of transparency in investing
- Absence of analytic tools for private equity
- Stale prices and subjective asset valuation
- Constrained access to excellent fund managers
These challenges are compounded when it comes to investing across a broad range of strategies, asset types, managers, styles and instruments.
How should you, as an institutional investor, with infinite fiduciary responsibilities and finite resources design and implement Alternative Investment programs?
Often you turn to gatekeepers to complement your in-house strengths. In doing so you face new questions.
What distinguishes one investment advisor or a Fund of Funds from another when all of them promise to assist with achieving " absolute returns over the long run" despite changing credit and market risk conditions? Is a General Partner's historical record of accomplishment, given evidence of fallibility in persistence of returns, an adequate basis to commit?
Choices Choices Choices
It becomes even more difficult for you when confronted with a myriad of choices.
Would you rather invest in? :
"Growth investments in promising companies seeking capital to fund further growth through acquisition or expansion"
Or
"Management buyouts/ leveraged build-ups with experienced managers to purchase the companies they operate"
Or
"Minority investments in existing business "
Or
'Portfolios of real estate assets or non-performing loans"
Or
"Recapitalizations and restructuring of attractive businesses, partnerships and industries in transition, special situations that arise because of market dislocations, regulatory changes, or investor disfavor with a specific industry "
Or
"Loan syndications, credit restructurings, mezzanine lending or subordinated lending"
Cut through complexity
It is time to see investment industry jargon in simple terms. In terms of style and simple asset characteristics.
Asset characteristics that matter - expected return, portfolio policy conformance, risk budgeting and steeped in the contemporary.
