Limited partner commitments to private equity fund managers in emerging markets will continue to grow, despite already significant increases in their commitments over the past few years, according to this 2008 LP survey from the Emerging Markets Private Equity Association (EMPEA). The survey also finds that 74 per cent of those surveyed expect greater commitments to emerging markets over the next three to five years. In 2008, the most important driver of LP interest in expanding their exposure to emerging markets private equity is the promise of superior risk-adjusted returns. Portfolio diversification, which ranked as the most important driver of interest in the 2007 survey, dropped to fourth place.
A significant number of LPs surveyed also ranked improvements in political and economic risks, and a deepening bench of high-quality fund managers (General Partners, or GPs) as key drivers of their continued appetite for funds in these markets.
