The movies from my teenage years foreshadowed the topsy-turvy world of today’s private equity industry. Back then, we heard of strange things afoot at the Circle K (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure) and dogs and cats living together (Ghostbusters). Today, a lack of distributions and secondary sales from longstanding leaders strange things in the industry and the convergence of public and private assets might feel like dogs and cats living together. I’ve been thinking about how this will play out over time and in particular, where future commitments from LPs will land. Read Ted’s blog here.

Our Summer Series kickoff is a twofer, Andy Golden, now retired after thirty years at Princeton University Investment Management Company, and Scott Wilson from Washington University-St. Louis. We packaged these two leading endowments to compare their investment styles. Scott comes from a direct investing background and has adopted a position-focused approach to diligence and co-investing, leading to a very different portfolio construction. It’s perhaps the leading example of a new approach in the endowment world.
