Given the relatively small size of the Enwment, it is unlikely thit haccess to top managers in the hee funanprivate equity spaces.我的答案如下，请老师批改下谢谢The boarshoulnot accept the CIO’s recommention, because the Enwment’s assets unr management are relatively small, whimnot reathe threshol of alternatives. The 60% allocation in alternatives mmake the portfolio too concentratein illiquiassets. Besis, the annuspenng rate of 6% (after HEPI) requires higher liquity nee anthe 40% allocation in public equities anfixeincome mnot meet the nee. 然后我还有一个问题为啥一谈到alternative，CFA答案里几乎只说“团队太小对另类投资没有经验、无法接触到顶级基金经理”这个问题？“it mnot have aquate access to or experienin alternative investments. Given the relatively small size of the Enwment, it is unlikely thit haccess to top managers in the hee funanprivate equity spaces.”这个问题有这么严重？？答案居然只说这个，而且不只是一道题目。我觉得还有一个重要问题是，the portfolio mnot meet the minimum size requirements of alternatives e to the small size. 还有就是60%配置在另类里，不会太高吗？毕竟它每年的spenng rate要6%，剩余40%的public配置能达到？
