The Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS), a $211 billion pension fund, is increasingly concerned about the influx of retail investor capital into private equity and real estate, which is projected to grow from $4 trillion to $13 trillion by 2032, potentially accounting for 22% of global alternative assets. This surge, discussed at a recent TRS investment committee meeting, raises risks around liquidity, transparency, and valuations, as retail investors could swell fund sizes, dilute institutional influence, and impact co-investment opportunities. TRS is researching ways to mitigate these risks, including setting caps on retail capital in funds they invest in and leveraging their long-term investor status to maintain strong manager relationships, while also adjusting their private equity allocation to 12% in line with new strategic goals. https://www.top1000funds.com/2025/07/trs-eyes-threat-of-retail-investors-in-private-markets/
