Many institutional LPs have faced challenges over the past few years as private markets have adjusted. However, Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Management are one of the most forward thinking allocators and had a solid 2023 with a record $100.9 billion in assets, on the back of a net investment gain of 11.2% for the year! They are also building internal capabilities for GP-led continuation funds, promoting a member of the private equity team, Eliza Haynes, to manage investments in GP-led secondaries. Many LPs, especially public pensions, are limited in their ability to participate in continuation fund deals because of their usually rapid approval timelines. Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Management are among the first pensions to make policy changes to allow staff the flexibility to invest in these types of deals. The board approved a new policy in November 2023 that delegates authority forthe system’s executive director and CIO to approve commitments to continuation funds on a case-by-case basis without investment committee and full board approval which will speed up the process to invest in continuation funds, as they typically provide LPs 20 days to either cash out their existing stakes or roll into the new vehicle. The system expects to commit no more than $100 million annually to continuation funds. Look out for more institutional allocators to build continuation fund capabilities as this market's growth will endure cycles as another avenue for private markets fund managers to create liquidity for limited partners and hold the best assets. #pensionfunds #allocators #institutionalinvestors #fundmanagers #massachusetts #privatemarkets #alternativeinvestments #secondaries #limitedpartners #privateequity #distributions #dpi #continuationfunds #valuecreationtools
