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.

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.

AI the ‘most consequential’ trend for infra investors despite scepticism

AI is “the most consequential megatrend” for infrastructure investors with opportunities not only around data centres, but also energy and fibre networks by extension. But despite the bullishness, some asset owners are wondering when – or if – AI will deliver a miraculous productivity gain and benefit the underlying infrastructure.
