Pension Bridge Private Equity Exclusive
Kirkland & Ellis is proud to be a platinum sponsor of the 2023 With Intelligence Pension Bridge Private Equity Exclusive conference on July 24–26 at The Loews Chicago Hotel. Kirkland Investment Funds Group partner Pamela Chen led the main stage presentation: Private Equity's Effort to Reach Retail Investors: What It Takes and How It May Shape the Industry on day 1 of the conference.
The match between private equity firms and retail investors is, in theory, an ideal one. Private equity firms, after all, are always looking for access to new sources of capital. Retail investors, meanwhile, are eager to diversify their holdings into alternatives, especially as public market performance has faced challenges over the past several years. But accessing retail capital is not an easy task for PE firms to pull off and those that wish to do it also need to be concerned about the reactions of existing limited partners as well. This session dove into the following considerations:
- When such efforts make sense
- How to access retail investors
- The products that are available to do so and the infrastructure needed to make these products work
- Regulatory issues that firms need to be aware of
- Why redemptions and liquidity issues need to be top of mind
