So it is what it is.
Before we did this index analysis, we had done two papers that looked at the shifts and alternatives and always looking just within public plans.
So looking relative to each other, you know, who's done better or worse based on their allocation.
And what we found was those that had higher allocations to, and mostly to private equity hedge funds, commodities, underperformed their peers.
The real driver of that was hedge funds and commodities.
To be honest, private equity basically held its own.
But hedge funds and commodities were really drags on public plan performance.
And again, in particular, in terms of private equity, prior to the global financial crisis, plans that went into private equity outperformed.
After the global financial crisis, they underperformed.
So on the whole, it's a wash.
for private equity.
For the other asset classes, they just were basically a net negative.
We had to create a benchmark.
We were looking at the performance of pension funds relative to indexes.
We had to figure out what index are we talking about?
What do we mean in terms of index funds?
And so we wanted something that was somewhat representative of
overall what public plans are trying to do, because they're kind of trying to present an alternative approach to see if they're doing better than that or not.
At the same time, we wanted something that was salient and understandable by the public.
I mean, the point of our research is for it to be accessible.
