Investing Outside the Box : Evidence from Alternative Vehicles in Private Equity
By Josh Lerner, Jason Mao, Antoinette Schoar, Nan R. Zhang
Published in : Journal of Financial Economics 143, no. 1 (January 2022): 359–380.
It’s been a great honor to receive the reward. The landscape of VCPE partnerships and their fund raising is constantly changing. And it is fascinating that we now have much more detailed data to analyze these dynamics and the implications it has for LPs and the wider market.
We are honored to receive the 2022 Doriot Award. Thinking « outside the box » by examining alternative vehicles data, we hope our paper will shed some light on the ever complex topic in PE performance and the alignment of interest between LPs and GPs.
Alternative investing is increasingly taking place outside the traditional fund structure, an important but hard-to-study phenomenon. I am delighted for the recognition for this paper, which seeks to understand this shift.
It is my great honor to receive this year’s Doriot Award for the Best Private Equity Research Paper. I hope the insights from our findings assist asset managers and asset owners in making better investment decisions. I am thankful for the excellent team of researchers and the leadership at State Street that helped make this happen.
