At the PERE Forum: Asia last week, former Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund chief investment officer Mark Burton spoke to PERE on the conference sidelines shortly after his interview with ING Real Estate Investment Management's Tim Bellman on stage.

In addition to suggesting LP need further transparency, he warned against style drifting; commented on how GP fees are becoming better aligned with their investors; on how 'terrific' co-investment opportunities for LPs are; and told how he expects the global fundraising total for private equity real estate funds in 2011 to be 25 percent up on last year.
