As reporting requirements intensify, PE firms are reappraising their infrastructure needs and exploring new, AI-powered options for improving their capability, say Citco Fund Services’ Claudia Bertolino and Timothy Harvey.

The sheer volume of management company, fund and portfolio-level data involved in GP stakes investing means the asset class is ripe for an AI revolution.

The multifamily office is looking to increase its blind-pool fund exposure this year, private equity head Jo Huang tells PEI.

Initiatives to boost workforce diversity, motivation and happiness can pay dividends for investors, explain NSSK’s Jun Tsusaka, Kiyomi Matsuda and Kurama Sato.

Managers will need to take a serious look at how they integrate digital solutions into their operations to attract LPs in an increasingly complex fund environment, says Ferhat Ansari at FIS.

LPs are showing greater hesitancy when it comes to adopting AI compared with GPs, with a desire on seeing the technology’s use cases before jumping on board.

Technology is critical to the creation of sustainable and scalable operating models, says Alter Domus chief operating officer Michael Janiszewski.

Impact strategies continue to attract LP capital, with climate-related themes remaining a particular draw.
