See above. markets moving 2% every day based on CPI and fed comments, and small caps are crazy volatile with +20%/-20% moves on earnings and macro. wouldn't this create demand for LPs to go to PE, infrastructure, private credit, where there is more stability in earnings/valuations?

And liquidity issues. You had to wait a quarter to a year to get your money out. Even firms like Bx stop redemptions and you’re left waiting for months to see your money. And all that time, your true return goes from “20% during investment period” to 10% actual if you include all the wait from committed capital to cash back in hand.
