Main Conference Day 3
What do co-investments, secondaries, joint ventures, and NAV lending have in common? To some, they sound like complex investment vehicles - to CAIA Association, they represent the cutting-edge tools reshaping how asset owners build portfolios, aligning with more innovative approaches such as the Total Portfolio Approach. Gone are the days of relying solely on the binary choice between insourcing or outsourcing investment capabilities. Today’s institutional investors have a dynamic, customizable toolkit at their fingertips, empowering them to craft strategies that truly serve their stakeholders. Join us for this interactive discussion on the use cases, the struggles, and approaches to implementing these more complex and creative vehicles.
By invitation only, closed-door discussion run under the Chatham House Rule

When cash distributions are delayed, traditional approaches to infer manager skill from realized returns are not applicable to the most recent fund generations. We discuss pragmatic and data driven techniques to gain nuanced insights into the skill set of PE Fund Managers even based on largely unrealized portfolios. These include indicators of proprietary dealflow, measures of strategic drift, the ability to truly add value and the solidity of NAV. All of these indicators have been empirically validated as historically performance relevant and therefore likely able to help detect future outperformers
