TIFF hosted the webinar Screw Your Courage to the Sticking Place: Continuing to Invest in Private Markets through 2023 on May 18, 2023. During this hour-long webinar, TIFF’s Brendon Parry and Elizabeth Warren discussed key considerations for allocating to Private Markets in the current environment, including addressing some misperceptions about possible impact on liquidity and identifying asset class dynamics in a downturn. They also shared how organizations can think about an appropriate commitment pace and where we expect compelling opportunities will be in 2023.

The webinar was based on TIFF’s recent white paper, that covers these and other topics. Read the paper here.

In March 2023, TIFF Investment Management launched our Investment Navigator series. This series aims to bring together industry peers in different cities to discuss important investment topics and how investors are accounting for them through portfolio management. Each event will provide an intimate setting for members to network and ask questions of TIFF’s Investments team. Whether you are an endowment, foundation, or other institutional investor, the Investment Navigator series is an excellent opportunity to connect with peers, share your point of view, and learn from the TIFF team.

The first stop in our series was Chicago, IL. CIO Jay Willoughby, and Managing Director – Equity-Oriented Strategies Trevor Graham addressed such market considerations as inflation, cash management, and the role of private equity today. Attendees raised concerns about preserving cash and ensuring the safety of cash on hand, particularly for smaller endowments and foundations. They also asked about TIFF’s strategic asset allocation and whether we were making tactical moves in response to inflation. Private equity was also discussed, with questions about valuations and whether TIFF was still generating positive returns in light of the current market environment.

Get ready, the next stop on TIFF’s Investment Navigator series is coming to New York, NY.
