mallowstreet, in partnership with Partners Group, surveyed 53 UK DC schemes, master trusts and DC investment consultants in 2020 to understand their interests, needs and concerns when considering illiquid assets such as private markets. Five years on, the results of the research still stand strong and provide helpful context for how far the conversation about private markets has come following the Mansion House Compact and Accord. This is why we decided to republish this abridged version of the research report.
