With Private Funds having a new type of license for asset allocation practice in China, comprehensive asset allocation cross private equity and stock market has received more attention. However, most of the studies focus more on the stock market, and asset allocation models for private equity market that are mainly made based on experience. Thus, the joint allocation of assets crosses both markets making it a challenging research topic. This paper introduces the Black–Litterman model into the private equity market, realizing the transition from qualitative models to quantitative models. It lays a solid quantitative ground for the mixed asset allocation model in both the markets.

Subject Outlook for sovereign wealth funds. Significance The world's largest sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) manage more than 3 trillion dollars in assets, but budgetary pressure from lower oil prices is causing Saudi Arabia and others to dip into the funds. Even with some outflows, SWFs remain large strategic investors, and their investment decisions have important effects. China is investing in infrastructure in its neighbouring countries and expects the SWFs to cooperate with the Silk Road Fund (SRF), a new state-backed private equity fund. Impacts If oil-producing countries' SWFs sell assets massively, there may be disruptions in the affected markets. The largest SWFs' growing focus on risk management leaves them better positioned to manage funding challenges and withdrawal risk. Strategic asset allocation will be further directed to meet the strong demand for infrastructure investment in emerging markets. Banks that have brokered deals for SWFs will need to find new customers to compensate for the reduced business. A search for yield may reverse the trend of a falling share of SWFs assets being managed externally, benefiting asset management firms.

Lo scopo di questo contributo č quello di descrivere i profili di criticitŕ che si affrontano nell'adattamento degli schemi tradizionali di(di tipo mediavarianza) agli investimenti in Private equity (Pe). L'elevato livello di illiquiditŕ degli investimenti in Pe alterano i valori dei parametri di rischio e di rendimento generando, a cascata, effetti di instabilitŕ e di inaffidabilitŕ delle frontiere efficienti. Nel corso del lavoro si procede, in particolare, ad una discussione circa: i) i fattori esplicativi dell'alterazione dei rendimenti (e, conseguentemente, dei rischi e delle correlazioni), ii) le metodologie piů diffuse per la neutralizzazione delle distorsioni sulle serie storiche nonché iii) le implicazioni per gli analisti deputati alla costruzione di un portafoglio diversificato comprensivo di una quota di Private equity.
