About the Institutional Limited Partners Association
The Institutional Limited Partners Association (ILPA) engages, empowers and connects limited partners to maximize their performance on an individual, institutional and collective basis.
LPs serve as trusted financial stewards who direct critical capital into private equity investments on behalf of their beneficiaries. With nearly 600 member institutions representing more than 3 trillion USD of private equity assets under management, ILPA is the only global organization dedicated exclusively to advancing the interests of LPs and their beneficiaries through best-in-class education, research, advocacy and events.
From its origins over two decades ago as an informal networking club comprising a few dozen LPs, ILPA has grown its membership to represent investor categories of small and large institutions including public pensions, corporate pensions, endowments, foundations, family offices, insurance, investment companies, development financial institutions and sovereign wealth funds.
Priorities
ILPA is a member-driven organization and has continued to enjoy global growth both in terms of number of members and diversity of membership. Today, approximately 60 percent of the membership is U.S.-based; 40 percent of members reside in Europe, Canada, and throughout the rest of the world. ILPA delivers value to its membership through events, education, advocacy and engagement.
Events
Bringing together a unique global community of investors at events, forums and receptions throughout the world, ILPA provides a platform for members to engage consistently and deeply with their global peers.
Education
Limited partner professionals benefit from our world-class executive education programs designed by LPs for LPs, offered in partnership with leading academics and practitioners in private equity.
Guidance
ILPA articulates and amplifies the voice of its members in global discussions on transparency, governance and alignment of interests between GPs and LPs. ILPA advocates for LPs, to ensure that their perspectives and that of their beneficiaries are considered in policymaking and industry practices.
Resources
Our industry-leading tools and templates take much of the legwork out of activities core to LP functions and help members make informed decisions faster and with the benefit of access to industry best practices.
