Similarly, distributions back to investors from private equity firms (following the sale of a portfolio company) are dependent on the state of public finance markets and the economy. Indeed, the modeling of drawdowns shows that private equity fund investment activities vary according to supply of investible opportunities, competition for deals, and cost of financing (especially for buyouts) (Gompers and Lerner, 1999 Ljungqvist and Richardson, 2003). As a result, the amount of capital committed to private equity by an investor and the amount invested in private equity backed companies differs, and investors can take many years to achieve their desired level of exposure to private companies ( Takahashi and Alexander, 2002). Therefore, investors are required to pay their commitment over a 10-year period, albeit that it is called unevenly during these years. A private equity firm typically may call 75–80% of capital committed to their fund over the first 5 years, and reserve the remaining commitment to finance follow-on investments in companies and management fees over the next 5 years of the fund. The funding obligation (the commitment) is drawn down (or called) by the private equity firm when required to complete new investments in companies over the investment period (typically 5 years from the beginning of the fund). Investors commit capital to a fund, but capital is rarely drawn down on completion of legal documentation. Once reputation has been established, the second issue is the capital funding duration. As unproven investors, it may take a few vintages before the private equity firms recognize an institution as a value-adding investor. There is the initial issue of being invited by the right funds to make a placement (although in the postfinancial crisis period since July 2007, this issue is less pressing). Unfortunately, private equity investment through private placements has a distinct disadvantage of taking many years for an investor to achieve the desired level of exposure (i.e., capital invested). These targets have to be met to ensure alignment among all other asset class allocations. Most institutions with plans to diversify into the alternative asset private equity will have in place, along with their investment mandates, specific allocation amounts budgeted over a 2–5 and even 10-year horizon.
