  Patient Capital: The Challenges and Promises of Long-Term Investing

  Victoria Ivashina and Josh Lerner

  There has never been a greater need for long-term investments. And it is increasingly unlikely that the public sector will be willing or able to fill the gap. Those best positioned to address the long-run needs are likely to be the pools of capital in the hands of pensions, insurers, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, and families. In addition to their long time frames, these institutions command enormous sums. Yet, in many cases, despite the abundance of capital and substantial need for returns, long-term investments have been problematic at best. Building on recent academic research, our own work, and many discussions with practitioners, this book outlines the key challenges facing long-term investments and suggests ways to address them. Over the past several decades, “private equity” has been the primary way in which longer-term illiquid investments have been made. In dissecting the motivations and actions of the key actors in the world of long-run investing, we have taken a careful look at traditional fund models, but we also analyzed other ways to pursue concentrated and long-term investments.
