Vintage-Year Allocation Plan Template

Create a multi-year private markets vintage allocation plan with annual commitments, strategy pacing, manager cadence and stress assumptions.

01

Plan objective

Foundation Investment Office will use the 2027-2031 vintage plan to build consistent exposure across market cycles and support a 22% strategic allocation.

02

Starting exposure

The program begins with $385m of NAV and $190m of unfunded commitments. Existing vintage exposure and expected realizations inform future capacity.

03

Vintage-year targets

Target commitments are $90m for 2027, $100m for 2028, $105m for 2029, $110m for 2030 and $115m for 2031. Targets are planning ranges, not spending quotas.

04

Strategy overlay

At least one venture/growth, one buyout and one diversifier commitment each year

05

Manager cadence

Plan for 4-6 commitments annually. Reserve 65% of annual capacity for high-conviction re-ups and 35% for new relationships.

06

Cash-flow assumptions

The plan assumes 20%-30% first-year calls and distributions recovering gradually from 2027. Update forecasts using actual fund drawdown and distribution patterns.

07

Stress scenario

Test annual targets under the following downside case: Distributions delayed by 24 months and calls accelerated by 15%. Reduce or sequence commitments if liquidity or allocation triggers are breached.

08

Implementation

Maintain a rolling three-year manager calendar, rank re-ups against new opportunities, and preserve capacity for secondaries or co-investments that improve vintage balance.

09

Monitoring

Review commitment volume, manager count, strategy mix, projected NAV, calls, distributions and concentration by vintage quarterly.
