Attracted by the potential for higher returns compared to public markets, a number of asset owners have progressively increased allocations to private market investments.
Despite this global trend, private assets continue to pose challenges for asset owners looking to use attribution models to improve their investment decision making process. Traditional attribution models can fail to provide meaningful analytics due to challenges with illiquidity, valuations, and benchmarking.
Can performance measurement and attribution frameworks be adapted to address these challenges?
Join us for this webinar, where Richard Griffiths and Arwel Lincoln from our Investment Performance Team will discuss the key considerations of private assets from a performance analysis perspective, including how their landscape affects performance metrics and fund-level allocations. He will explore:
- The challenges posed by illiquidity, and how data limitations further intensify them
- Suitable benchmarks and attribution models and how these differ from standard approaches
- How the results can be effectively integrated with public assets on total fund-level
