    Great expectations: A new era of LP scrutiny

    72% of GPs say LPs now prioritise clear, timely and accurate reporting above all else.

    This is a headline finding from our 2026 Private Funds CFO Insights Survey, which we did in partnership with PEI, and highlights just how quickly investor expectations are evolving.

    In our latest episode of the Alternative Insights podcast, Maria Von Oldenskiold, Head of Investor Services, is joined by special guests Gary Haselgrove, Head of Alternative Operations at USS, and Stefanie Langer Principal and COO at Corten Real Estate, to explore how rising LP scrutiny is influencing operational models, performance expectations and the overall investor experience.

    During this episode they discuss:

    • The growing demand for transparency and responsiveness
    • Which performance benchmarks LPs are focused on today
    • How managers are adapting their operating models
    • Practical steps to strengthen investor confidence through better reporting.
