Advancing Fund Governance For Closed-Ended Structures

Investors actively participating in the alternative investment fund space cover the full spectrum, from high net worth individuals, fund of funds, life insurance companies and pension plans, through to sovereigns and governments. While some investors are concerned with portfolio diversification by asset, region or sector, others strive for greater balance between assets and liabilities or are motivated by other external factors. The common thread, however, is greater investor sophistication. As the race for alpha has become tighter, investors have been drawn to less liquid strategies, better implemented via closed-ended investment fund structures, which include private equity, private credit, venture capital and real estate, among others.
