Pension groups cut back on pioneering private equity investments - Financial Times

Quick Summary:

Omers’ chief investment officer, Ralph Berg, said the pension fund had “evolved our investment strategy over the last couple of years to explore different models and use funds where it is complementary”.

Marlene Puffer, former chief investment officer at Alberta Investment Management Corporation, said Canadian pension funds were “in the boat of having to add more value into every holding because exits are more challenging now — they have to do more hands on management and it becomes increasingly complex”.

But that balance has shifted as pension funds have come under pressure to invest in buyout funds to secure access to the best co-invest deals, where they get to invest alongside the firms but without having to pay fund fees.
