Benchmarking the Performance of Private Equity Portfolios of the World's Largest Institutional Investors: A View from CEM Benchmarking

Alexander Beath and Christopher Flynn

Gross of costs, private equity has been one of the best performing asset classes in the last 19 years. Cost matter, though. Net of costs there may be better alternatives, especially for the average smaller institutional investor. Each year, approximately 300 funds compare their investment performance versus the CEM database and peers to demonstrate their costs and performance are reasonable.

In this research you will find:

Why most of the private equity benchmarks currently used by investors are flawed.
The low-cost benchmark investors should use instead to benchmark their private equity portfolios
The average net return earned by private equity portfolios in the period between 1996-2018 was -0.67%. But how each of the individual implementation styles did perform?
The most underestimated variable that can impact net returns and can still be managed (This could means the difference between generating alpha or not)
The powerful database funds could use to determine if their investments are producing enough value-for-money and value-for-risk for the cost their incur.
