Primary examples of strategic solutions addressing the top-rated barriers identified in the CLMPC-PIAC survey
may be categorized in following manner:
- Introduction of "best practices" to conventional pooling vehicles and syndicates (e.g., limited
partnerships in private equity and subordinated debt markets);
- Establishment of new and alternative pooling vehicles (e.g., fund-of-funds: pools that
intermediate between pension suppliers and external specialty managers);
- Establishment of alternative asset-targeting pools and strategies (e.g., American economically-
targeted investments, or ETIs, for real estate, SME financing, venture capital, etc.);
- Development of seasoned, skilled investment specialists for key capital markets or market
segments;
- Development of market-specific advisers and agents to facilitate transacting (e.g., gatekeeper
intermediaries for pension funds and SME agents in American private equity investing);
- Creation of private capital market returns databases, performance assessment and measurement tools, et
al;
- Improvement of private capital market education for pension fiduciaries;
- Establishment of government-private sector partnerships for leveraging, cost-sharing or
otherwise advancing any of the above initiatives.
