After writing and gaining approval for ‘the case’ to add Private Equity to the strategic asset allocation of our sole client PGB Pensioenfonds, I’m currently in the implementation phase. We will build a private equity portfolio from scratch, in both Europe and North-America, with a small/mid buyout strategy focus. The implementation of the program will be done in co-operation with a strategic partner in Europe and another partner in North-America. Since 2019 and 2020, these partners each build a 500 million Fund of Funds for PGB. Since 2022 PGB started to due diligence re-up decisions for managers where the initial investment fund commitment was executed in the Fund of Funds program. Furthermore in 2022, each partner started a 200 million co-investment fund to invest in the co-investment opportunities from the funds selected in the Fund of Funds mandates and re-up funds selected by PGB directly.
