Institutional investor appetite for the private debt asset class is strong, with 98% of investors surveyed by Preqin at the end of 2017 planning to increase or maintain their private debt allocations in the long term. The 100 largest private debt LPs have a combined $172bn invested in the asset class, which represents nearly a quarter (22%) of all capital invested in the space.

  • ILPA Private Equity Principles Endorsements (Updated: April, 2017)
    ILPA Private Equity Principles Endorsements (Updated: April, 2017) Historically, the private equity partnership structure has been effective in aligning the interests of investors (the “limited partners”) with those individuals managing the money (the “general partner”). By sharing a substantial portion of profits with the general partner and requiring the general partner to have a meaningful equity interest in their own funds, a business culture was created where most private equity firms were able to maintain a single-minded determination to maximize returns on the underlying investments. The principles contained herein are a means to restore and strengthen the basic “alignment of interests” value proposition in private equity. Certain terms and conditions that have gradually evolved should receive renewed attention in private equity partnership agreements entered into prospectively in order to (i) correctly align interests between general partners and limited partners, (ii) enhance fund governance and (iii) provide greater transparency to investors. A summary of private equity principles is provided below. Appendix A contains details on preferred private equity terms, and Appendix B contains best practices for Limited Partner Advisory Committees (“LPAC”). The concepts contained in these documents reflect suggested best practices and are intended to serve as a basis for continued discussion among and between the general partner and limited partner communities with the goal of improving the private equity industry for the long-term benefit of all its participants. These documents were developed through the efforts, contributions and collaboration of many institutional private equity investors and their senior investment officers, the Institutional Limited Partners Association (“ILPA”) and the Private Equity Principles and Best Practices Committee of the ILPA Board of Directors.
