Welcome to the latest edition of the Private Markets Profile.
Many of the causes of the UK’s deepening housing crisis are known, and plenty of possible solutions have been offered. But implementing any of them is another matter. This issue of Room151’s Private Markets Profile explores how some of these solutions might work.

LGPS professionals gathered during a roundtable event at the recent Housing151 conference, for example, to try to find a way to unlock private investment in developing more housing.
A full review of that session is presented here, along with deep dives from Octopus Investments and CBRE Investment Management. We also ask whether LGPS patient capital and affordable housing can be seen as a perfect match – or whether there are pitfalls, and sit down with London CIV’s Aoifinn Devitt to discuss how the pool plans to expand its investments in real estate. Fiera Real Estate and Gresham House contribute additional insights.
As well as the focus on housing, this issue also assesses the value of infrastructure as an effective inflation hedge, and features four questions Columbia Threadneedle thinks LGPS funds should consider in evaluating private equity. Finally, BlackRock discusses the rise of private debt and scope for LGPS investors to harness the asset class.
