Canadian Roundtable 2018 | Institutional Investor Forums | 26 September 2018 | InterContinental Toronto Yorkville, 220 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M5S 1T8, Canada

The past few years have seen a significant shift in the alternatives market. The pre-2008 focus on hedge funds is gone and we are in the midst of a momentous transition towards more niche and specialized strategies. None more specialized or profitable than the private equity space. As private equity funds have become more lucrative, allocators are struggling to gain entrance into these funds with some accepting only one new LP per fiscal year. Likewise, GPs are faced with a challenge of the unsophisticated investor who has maintained success through largely traditional or hedge fund strategies.
