Informative and invaluable networking for LPs.
Open to pre-qualified pension funds, foundations,endowments, SWFs only
Hosted By: ILPA
Fair Game? An LP-Only Discussion on “Reasonable”Fees and Expenses
Every day, LPs are told that various terms orparameters are, or are not, “market”. How can weseparate fact from fiction? And even where terms areindeed market-standard, which of these should LPsaccept, and which ones are worth revisiting? Join ILPAand your global LP peers for a closed-door, ChathamHouse rules discussion on what we’ve seen to dateand what we want to prioritize for the future.Questions tackled will include:
• What baseline do investors use to assess whethervarious types of expense are reasonable, e.g.,placement fees, fund administration, legal andaccounting?
• Can the trend towards broad discretion on thedefinition of fund expenses be reined in? If so,how?
• As LPs scrutinize the use of operating partners,how have GP attitudes towards insourcing versusoutsourcing evolved?
• Should specific costs associated with subsets ofLPs be shared among all LPs in the fund, e.g., co-investors or LPs with specific jurisdictionalrequirements?
• How useful is it for LPs to review the serviceagreements between the GP and vendors orportfolio company management?

Lessons from a serial entrepreneur
12:30 - 13:15Day 3
Profiting from the Truth
People are interested in ideas and loyal to promises,not products and price points. Communicating withclarity ultimately means removing ‘the illusion ofseparation’, understanding that ‘You are YourCustomer’ and treating your customers as you wouldhave them treat you.
BJ Cunningham uses his own experience as a serialentrepreneur, and his highly entertaining and thoughtprovoking ‘DEATH Cigarettes’ case study, to illustratehis straightforward brand and business thinking; ‘RightThought, Right Word, Right Action’.
