GroveStreet’s Patrick Sherwood is featured in the latest edition of Private Equity Findings published by the Coller Research Institute. In an article delving into a new model for private equity pacing and cash flow forecasting, Patrick and Alex Billias of Bella Private Markets discuss the merits of moving beyond widely used deterministic approaches such as those developed at Yale, to a probabilistic model drawing on actual cash flow data and arming allocators with a range of potential outcomes instead of sometimes misleading and often misunderstood point estimates. The new model developed by Bella and GroveStreet retains the core principles and intuition of the Yale model but is powered by simulation-based computations and actual portfolio data. Read more about the new model here.
