Important considerations in portfolio allocation to private equity are examined by Fort Washington in this introductory paper on the subject.

During the period from 1996 through year-end 2005, investors committed nearly $1.6 trillion to private equity funds. Despite a drop in private equity commitments following the bursting of the technology bubble in 2000, investors averaged more than $166 billion in annual commitments to the asset class in 2003-2005.
