Many institutional investment strategies are evolving to include greater more complex exposures to private assets, aiming to enhance return potential and strengthen long-term portfolio resilience.
Against this backdrop, and with a recognition of how private assets differ from publicly listed ones, investors are adapting their modeling approaches to better support strategic asset allocation decisions.
Join us for this webinar, where consultants Jens Barendsen and Ashish Doshi, representing our Insurance and Global Pension Risk teams, will discuss the role of private assets in institutional portfolios and explore:
- Why it is imperative to model private assets as illiquid and on a cashflow basis, to reflect broader portfolio liquidity risks and align with the strategic asset allocation
- How to approach commitments, capital calls, and distributions over the investment horizon as part of a strategic asset allocation exercise
- The role of dynamic commitment strategies to help facilitate an effective private markets programme
