What’s inside the report
  • A look at supply and demand dynamics impacting the co-investment landscape. Plus, how LPs are weighing the strategic advantages and operational hurdles of running robust co-investment programs.
  • How CalSTRS’ “Collaborative Model,” which prioritizes co-investments, is generating substantial cost savings in its private equity portfolio and outperforming traditional fund commitments.
  • Why the retreat of “tourist” co-investors post-2021, has led GPs to increasingly turn to pre-signing and co-underwriting structures to reduce execution risk — raising the bar for LPs in terms of speed and sophistication.
  • How sophisticated LPs are turning to technology to evaluate deals rapidly, act decisively, and stand out to GPs as reliable, value-adding partners in competitive co-investment processes.

“Chronograph’s technology has allowed us to capture and structure more than seven million data points from our portfolio, and we feel the LP solution is unique in its ability to capture such a rich and complete data set.”

“As secondaries investors, we are investing in hundreds of funds and thousands of companies. This means our data scales up in a very rapid way. We’ve found that unlocking our data and prioritizing its value in our investment cycle has helped us become better investors.”

“Having worked with Chronograph and incumbent solutions at prior firms, I’ve seen firsthand how Chronograph drives value for stakeholders. It was critical for us to implement Chronograph as early as possible. The platform has been an integral part of our technology stack since day one and continues to support key data management processes within Knox Lane.”

“Chronograph acts as a critical hub for our data collection, valuation, and reporting processes. We are constantly collaborating with the Chronograph team to discover new capabilities and expand our use case.”

“Chronograph’s flexible data collection and reporting technology has enabled us to harmonize KPIs and deepen insights across our portfolio. Our investment, value creation, and finance teams can all easily collaborate with consistent and trusted data.”

“We knew we needed to streamline data collection from our portfolio companies to improve operational efficiency. We wanted a tool that allowed for full flexibility in complicated workflow design and delivered a modern user experience. With Chronograph, we can pivot on a dime and collect additional data as needed.”
