Benchmarking: Context is everything
|
|
With more types of investors moving into private markets, understanding what is and is not appropriate for benchmarking various investment decisions has never been more critical.
Benchmarking needs differ from allocator to allocator, according to our latest analyst note. But the consequences of fund managers and limited partners alike missing benchmarks are real. Consider that in November, a local Canadian government axed the 10-person board of Alberta Investment Management when their results trailed internal expectations.
The note breaks down, plainly, the ins and outs of evaluating investment decisions, including levels of decision-making, how and why benchmarks are created and selected, and how investors can apply them appropriately. |
