    The better question to ask CPPIB is what the cumulative IRR on their private equity and other programs is? Is the allocation to this asset class actally generating long term profits, as its goal must surely be? How is does in any quarter or year is interesting, but we are losing site of the long term. If they are IRR negative, which woudln’t surprise me based on the timeframe where they massively scaled up the program, its not necessarily an unrecoverable problem, as the portfolio will need some further years to show its true complexion. But it would no doubt add fuel to the fire of what people have been paid, verses what has been achieved to date.

    CPPIB should disclose asset class IRR on all of its illiquid investments. Lumping with the public markets completely eliminates the transparency of a strategic choice to devote large amounts of capital to private markets. All "equities" are not the same.
