The Allocator’s Atlas is a recurring PitchBook webinar series delivering independent research and expert perspectives on private markets.
Private market returns don’t tell the whole story. Standard manager rankings flatten meaningful differences in track records. Reported returns from evergreen structures often understate real volatility, masking risk that GPs, LPs, and allocators need to see clearly. Join PitchBook’s research team for a practical look at what two new studies reveal about manager selection, portfolio construction, and risk assessment.
What you’ll learn
- How our 2025 Global Manager Performance Scores improve upon standard quartile rankings to benchmark fund performance across strategies and vintages
- Why traditional quartile rankings can fall short and what a more precise measure of relative manager skill reveals
- How adjusted evergreen fund index returns compare to reported figures and what the gap reveals about true volatility
