TIFF’s 2024 Private Markets survey results offer some interesting perspectives into how Limited Partners (LPs) view opportunities in the private markets currently, and expectations for the markets overall. Our survey respondents represent a broad swath of endowments, foundations, family office, and asset management organizations with some surprisingly different expectation for private market sector performance. Mega funds are seen as performance detractors by a large percentage of respondents, while lower middle market buyout and venture capital strategies seem more attractive relative to the larger end of the private equity market. Overall, LPs expect their private markets allocation to remain consistent or grow, against a backdrop of being at or under their target.

On June 12, 2024, TIFF hosted a one-hour webinar centered on the white paper titled, “Here Comes the Sun – The Rise of Hedge Fund Performance” hosted by Zhe Shen, CFA, and Fiona Chow, CFA.

During the webinar, Shen and Chow discussed how the recent aggressive rate hikes have reintroduced dispersion into stock and bond markets, creating an environment where hedge funds can shine. With hedge funds outperforming for four consecutive years, it may be time for investors to reconsider their importance in a diversified portfolio.
