Jim Fasano tells Privcap: CPPIB Is Seeking GPs Who Can Scale

NEW YORK - Sept. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Privcap has released an exclusive video interview with Jim Fasano, head of funds, secondaries and co-investments for the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB). The $183 billion CPPIB was recently ranked the largest active private equity fund investor in the world.

“Scalability of our business has long been a challenge for us,” Fasano tells Privcap CEO David Snow. “So we look to a number of ways in which we can increase our private equity business. One of them is to add on new activities and products.”

Fasano also discusses why CPPIB wants to partner with GPs who can "scale with us."

In the wide-ranging Privcap interview (http://www.privcap.com/jim-fasano-cppib-private-equity/), titled World's Largest LP Wants GPs Who Can Scale, viewers will learn:

-Details behind the innovative "GP restructurings" of Berman Capital and Kainos Capital - which CPPIB backed
-What attributes CPPIB looks for in a GP that can grow large
-The pension investment managers ambitions in the secondaries market
