Smart LP Portfolio Diversification Strategies

LPs face increasing pressure to diversify without compromising returns.

LP Diversification Without Sacrificing Returns

Investors are already being challenged to diversify their portfolios more than they have traditionally, as Limited Partners already have significant exposure to downturns, geopolitical events, and sector risks from concentrated positions in a handful of firms and sectors. Combine all of this uncertainty with the doubts about the opportunity cost of diversifying the portfolio away from potential returns, and it is understandable why aggressive proactive risk management is the first thing that gets deferred, or removed from their strategy, and a waiting game begins.

The Core Problem: Concentration Risk vs. Return Optimisation

Many LPs feel "boxed in" where they have too much exposure to familiar markets or feel they will underperform by investing in new geographies or asset classes. The crux of the issue is: How can you allocate capital across a number of strategies, without impacting performance? Also, institutional mandates and internal risk frameworks seldom encourage innovation, resulting in an allocation style that removes flexibility.

  • Deconcentrating overlap in familiarity of fund or geography

  • Lack of access to emerging fund managers who will outperform

  • Isolation of limited data and inadequate due diligence on new markets

  • Operational drag on managing several small allocations - especially given that institutional mandates may reward illiquidity.

  • Ambiguous alignment with ESG and trends of long-term innovation.
