SuperReturn US West 2026

SuperReturn US West is the dedicated West Coast edition of the SuperReturn franchise — two days in Los Angeles bringing together West Coast institutional allocators, family offices, RIAs and the GP base active in the Pacific time zone. The conference fills a genuine gap in the calendar: most large allocator events anchor on New York or London, leaving the substantial West Coast allocator pool, including major California pensions, technology family offices and the West Coast RIA platforms, with limited dedicated programming.

The agenda concentrates on the strategies most relevant to the West Coast allocator base: mid-market buyout, growth equity, technology-adjacent PE, lower-middle-market, and the increasingly important crossover between late-stage venture and growth equity. Sessions cover portfolio construction at scale (CalPERS, CalSTRS and other California pension teams are core audience members), the operational challenges of multi-family office allocations, and the technology-specific PE strategies that have emerged from the Bay Area ecosystem.

A distinctive feature of the conference is the strong family office and private wealth participation. The technology-wealth concentration on the West Coast has created one of the deepest non-institutional allocator pools in the world, and SuperReturn US West has become a primary venue for GPs raising into that channel — especially via the parallel SuperReturn Private Wealth US West conference held in conjunction.

West Coast institutional LPs (CalPERS, CalSTRS, LACERA, OCERS, San Francisco Employees, plus major Pacific Northwest pension and sovereign-adjacent funds); West Coast family offices and RIAs; technology-focused PE and growth equity GPs; lower-middle-market and middle-market funds.

The West Coast institutional and family office allocator pool deploys tens of billions of dollars annually into private capital but rarely travels east in volume. For mid-market and growth-equity GPs raising globally, two days in Los Angeles can cover a meaningful share of the Western US allocator universe at a fraction of the cost of one-by-one coverage.
