Welcome to the latest edition of the Private Markets Profile.
On paper, the healthy funding ratios many in the LGPS are currently seeing should be a good thing – but there is a sense of scepticism. And despite increased talks of de-risking, funds continue to expand their private markets allocations. In our cover story, Mona Dohle seeks to find out what is driving this trend.

This issue also investigates the secondary market, exploring the multitude of factors which have converged to present potentially strong opportunities for investors.
The topic was one of those discussed at Room151’s recent Private Markets Forum, with a round-up of the event alongside the best images of the day presented in this edition.
Border to Coast’s deputy CIO Mark Lyon and Alex Bull, head of pension fund management and investment at Greater Gwent (Torfaen) Pension Fund, are the subjects of intriguing interviews this time around.
Rounding out the issue, Pollen Street Capital explains why asset-backed lending is an ‘untapped’ opportunity; Edmond de Rothschild REIM explores solutions to the affordable housing crisis; Man Group explains how to maximise affordable housing investment; and J.P. Morgan assesses the outlook for Timberland.
