LOS ANGELES, March 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- One in six Black men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime versus one in eight white men. Black men are more likely to be diagnosed at a younger age, with more aggressive disease, and are more than twice as likely to die of prostate cancer. New findings from Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF)-funded investigators shed light on the genetic underpinnings of this racial disparity and point the way toward more effective screening strategies.

Key Points: 
  • Studies have identified close to 270 genetic variants linked to prostate cancer risk, but genetic researchers have yet to explain the disproportionate risk among men of African ancestry.
  • Nor have they been able to predict which Black men face a high risk for aggressive prostate cancer.
  • The researchers found nine previously undiscovered genetic variants that increased the risk for prostate cancer in men of African ancestry, seven of which are found either largely or exclusively in Black men.
  • One new variant in the 8q24 region, long known to influence prostate cancer risk, is found only in men of African ancestry.

In almost all instances, adding Private Equity exposure to a diversified portfolio not only boosts absolute returns but also helps deliver better risk-adjusted returns, especially for investors who are concerned about inflation.

Key Points: 
  • In almost all instances, adding Private Equity exposure to a diversified portfolio not only boosts absolute returns but also helps deliver better risk-adjusted returns, especially for investors who are concerned about inflation.
  • According to McVey and Allouani, the following drivers of Private Equity performance warrant investor attention:
    Sector Allocation: Private Equity sector exposures are often meaningfully different from those of Public Equity indices and can often be a significant source of alpha.
  • Broad sector compositions in different vintages of Private Equity funds also tend to be more dynamic than public markets indices, which can take much longer to adjust.
  • That said, as we look forward, we believe that Private Equity Managers can be even more proactive in systematically exiting portfolio investments in fully priced markets.
