We're honored to be included in National Association of Investment Companies (NAIC) 2025 report, "Affirming the Returns: Further Evidence of Diverse-Owned Private Equity Firm Outperformance." Read the findings here: https://lnkd.in/gKP9TVdv
Our first Amplifying Alts Forum panel focused on NAIC’s just-released “2025 Affirming the Returns” private equity performance report. The findings in the 2025 report are clear and compelling: diverse-owned private equity managers have outperformed their benchmarks once again—and this time, by an even greater margin than in our last biennial study in 2023. In the 2025 study, the NAIC Private Equity Index significantly outperformed the Burgiss median return benchmark, generating an IRR of 16.0 percent, versus the Burgiss median return of 9.0 percent. That 700 basis points of outperformance is not incidental—it reflects the discipline, insight, and execution capabilities of the diverse-owned managers included in the study. NAIC President & CEO Robert L. Greene (Bob) convened a discussion with a panel of CIOs including Kenyatta K. Matheny (Equitrust), Angela Miller-May (Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund), and Jessica Holsey (GCM Grosvenor), to delve into how the research strengthens the case for including diverse-owned managers in institutional investor portfolios. They discussed how studies such as NAIC's show that allocating capital to diverse managers is an exercise in fiduciary responsibility and how they are constructing inclusive portfolios.
