One response to “Texas ERS reallocates to managers to help navigate concentrated equity market”

  1. Alex Suvorov

    Thank you for this insightful article. It provides valuable perspective for emerging fund managers on the challenges LPs face with concentrated private equity exposure. I’m curious whether ERS considers co-investments with independent sponsors or acquisition platforms as a potential source of differentiated returns and diversification, particularly given the flexibility of deal-by-deal capital and the ability to avoid some of the constraints of traditional blind-pool private equity, where capital is committed for a long period before the underlying investments are known and with limited visibility into how the portfolio will ultimately be constructed.

Rest Super’s selective approach to PE pays off as program comes of age

A concentrated bet on fewer, better GP relationships is paying off for one of Australia's largest superannuation funds. Built on selective manager and deal selection rather than a broad roster, the A$112 billion ($78 billion) Rest Super delivered private equity returns more than double the peer average last financial year, as the fund proactively courts top-tier PE firms instead of waiting to be approached.

Wisconsin’s data solution

David Villa, CIO of the $110 billion State of Wisconsin Investment Board is worried about the outlook for returns. As a result he’s significantly underweight sovereign bonds in favour of cash. But he’s also positioning the organisation to do better analytics for more complicated portfolios, another result of a low return environment. The fund is working on at least five data and technology projects and has hired a chief technology and operations officer.

Is factor investing still working?

A large number of long-only multi-factor strategies have performed disappointingly over the past three years. Some have called into question the usefulness of solutions based on factor diversification but recent research by EDHEC suggests this doesn’t hold up against an even remotely serious investigation.
