Reporting Frequency Debate - The debate over whether public companies should issue quarterly results has resurfaced, with discussions around potentially shifting to semi-annual (every six months) reporting [1] - The core of the debate revolves around balancing investor needs for frequent information against the potential for short-termism and the burden on companies [6][7] - A proposal suggests maintaining semi-annual reporting but requiring management to provide reports to shareholders, including internal Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), in the off quarters [8][9] - This approach aims to reduce company effort by 90% in off quarters while providing investors with over 90% of the benefit [10] Public vs Private Markets - While refining public market reporting is important, the bigger issue is the lack of disclosure in private markets [11][12] - There's a growing trend of retail investors participating in private markets with limited access to information compared to public markets [12][13] - A recommendation is to extend the proposed semi-annual management report, including KPIs, to private companies with over 100 shareholders to address information asymmetry [14] Earnings Guidance - Warren Buffett and Jamie Dimon previously advocated for ceasing earnings per share guidance to encourage a longer-term focus [3] - Despite the option to reduce quarterly guidance, many companies continue to provide it voluntarily [20][22] - Even if reporting shifts to semi-annual, many companies may still choose to provide quarterly reports and guidance [21][22]

Private Equity Market Trends - Private equity firms face concerns about selling previous investments at good prices due to liquidity issues [1][2] - Public markets are trading at all-time highs, but private markets are not seeing the same success, partly due to timing and high purchase prices [2] - Prices of companies typically bought by private equity firms have deflated significantly, with trading multiples decreasing from 17-20x to 7-8x [3][4] - Lower asset prices create opportunities for fund managers to buy at attractive prices, but also make it harder to get liquidity [6] Alternative Investments in Retirement - Deploying capital is easier than realizing capital gains in the current market [7] - The US 401k market, a primary savings tool for Americans, has been largely locked out of private market investments [8] - Inclusion of private markets in 401ks requires regulatory changes [8][9] - Diversification through private markets is essential for a better retirement portfolio, especially given the concentration in public markets [10] Portfolio Construction and Risk Management - Pensions have driven returns through private markets [13] - A portfolio construction strategy involving heavier weighting in private markets for younger savers, gradually shifting to more liquid assets over time, is suggested [14][15] - Illiquidity of alternative investments is a concern, especially during market downturns, but can be managed through appropriate portfolio construction [11][12][14]
