Harnessing The Key Drivers Powering Private Equity Buyout Funds Through Public Equity
Tuesday, November 12, 2024
11:00 am - 12:00 pm EST

Over the past decade, private equity (PE) buyout funds have consistently delivered outsized returns over public markets.1 Buyout funds have become a favorite allocation for institutions and endowments, which typically allocate around 20-40% of their portfolios to PE.2 However, the high fees, long placement periods, and limited liquidity of traditional PE buyout funds have left many investors on the sidelines.

These constraints, paired with increasing demand for PE access, led the experts at Man Group, the world's largest publicly listed hedge fund3, to explore whether they could create an efficient alternative.

Their research showed it is possible to capture PE-like returns by applying the selection criteria utilized by traditional PE buyout fund managers to small and medium-sized publicly listed companies.

In this webinar, John Lidington, Co-Portfolio Manager4, and Kevin Orr, KraneShares Head of Strategic Partnerships, will discuss Man Group’s research and dissect how the critical drivers of PE manager returns exist in both the private and public markets.

Key topics we will cover5:

  • The current private equity landscape and potential shift toward public markets
  • Identifying PE selection criteria and return drivers that can be applied to public equities
  • Analyzing sectors and fundamental attributes favored by PE firms
  • Overview of the Man Buyout Beta Index ETF (Ticker: BUYO)
  • Comprehensive Q&A
