Benefit of long-dated / permanent capital funds?

Title says it all. Given they aim for lower returns, what is the benefit of choosing one of these funds over a traditional buyout fund? Are you still able to get same / similar levels of carry, if they aim for lower returns? Does the higher AUM / Head make up for it?
