Prof. Klaas P. Baks and Prof. Chris Rider
Abstract: This document outlines a long-run research agenda for The Emory Center for Alternative Investments based on vital issues facing limited partners. Five key areas of research are discussed: (i) asset allocation, (ii) value creation, (iii) incentive alignment, (iv) transparency, and (v) oversight, regulation & taxation. The objective of this document is to build a network of institutional investors and alternative asset managers and to secure their support to execute on this research agenda to inform our collective understanding of what alternatives do and do not do.
