The Art of Commitment Pacing

Advanced guidance for institutional investors, academics, and researchers on how to construct portfolios of private capital funds. The Art of Commitment Pacing: Engineering Allocations to Private Capital provides a much-needed analysis of the issues that face investors as they incorporate closed ended-funds targeting illiquid private assets (such as private equity, private debt, infrastructure, real estate) into their portfolios. These private capital funds, once considered 'alternative' and viewed as experimental, are becoming an increasingly standard component of institutional asset allocations. However, many investors still follow management approaches that remain anchored in the portfolio theory for liquid assets but that often lead to disappointing results when applied to portfolios of private capital funds where practically investors remain committed over nearly a decade. The Art of Commitment Pacing offers a systematic approach for building up and controlling allocations to such investments.
