27. Accessing the Private Markets Through Co-Investment
Investments in the private markets is one aspect of SWIB’s diversified investment portfolio. But there are many ways to invest in the private markets. One approach that has been gathering momentum in the past decade is co-investment. In a private market context, coinvesting involves buying equity or debt in private companies alongside a private equity or private credit fund. What are the benefits of these investments and how do they help the Core Trust Fund? How has SWIB built and grown its co-investment portfolio? And what is the outlook for co-investments going forward?
In this episode of The SWIB Podcast, Chris Eckerman and Kirk Wolff of SWIB’s Private Equity and Co-Investment team answer those questions as we discuss private equity co-investments and learn more about how the Investment Board was an early adopter of building out an internal co-investment program.
