Evergreen fund managers need scale and advanced analytics to balance risk/return with duration and meet investors’ liquidity demands, say StepStone Private Wealth’s Bob Long and Neil Menard.

There are whole swathes of the economy that simply cannot be accessed through public market investment today, thereby boosting private markets’ appeal, says Schroders Capital’s Tim Boole.

GP stakes investing aims to offer investors cashflow and diversification in uncertain times, says Blue Owl Capital senior managing director Sean Ward.

Rather than selling troubled positions at heavy discounts in the secondaries market, LPs should consider bringing in outside support to agitate for a successful wind-down, says Cork Gully managing partner Stephen Cork.

A lack of liquidity is creating new opportunities to partner with mid-market managers and their portfolio companies, says head of Northleaf Capital Partners’ private equity programme, Michael Flood.

Managers will need to take a serious look at how they integrate digital solutions into their operations to attract LPs in an increasingly complex fund environment, says Ferhat Ansari at FIS.

Strategic partnerships, tech enablement and education will be key to effectively accessing the growing pool of capital in the wealth management market, says Brian Ruder, co-managing partner at Permira.

Technology is critical to the creation of sustainable and scalable operating models, says Alter Domus chief operating officer Michael Janiszewski.

Demand for evergreen strategies is spurring the ‘evergreenification’ of private markets, with a focus on specialisation in the private wealth space, say Pantheon’s Michael Hutten and Victor Mayer.

The secondaries market has grown rapidly over recent years, but the principles of successful investing are the same as they have always been, says Michael Granoff of Pomona Capital.
