Public Pensions, Private Equity, and the Mythical 8% Return
Prof. Edward A. Zelinsky, OUPblog Link to more items from this source
[Opinion]
Mar. 6, 2012
Public pension plans should not invest in private equity deals. These deals lack both transparency and the discipline of market forces. Private equity investments allow elected officials to assume unrealistically high rates of return for public pension plans and to make correspondingly low contributions to such plans. This is a recipe for inadequately funded pensions, an outcome good for neither public employees nor taxpayers.
