64 per cent of UK and US institutional investors focused on alternatives are ‘very confident’ about the fundraising plans of alternative asset managers over the next 18 months, an Ocorian report has found.
35 per cent of those focused on real estate, private debt, and infrastructure stated that they are ‘quite confident’, and only 1 per cent stated that they were concerned.
Those surveyed stated that the strong performance of alternatives amid volatile markets and regulation improvements are the main drivers of demand, along with their use in diversifying portfolios.
The asset classes expected to face the highest demand are real estate, renewable energy, and private equity, the study says. Those expected to see less demand are commodities, crypto/digital assets, and infrastructure.
The full report is due to be published on 13 October.
Gary Warwick, director of fund services in the UK and Ireland at Ocorian, says: “Confidence in the ability of alternative asset fund managers to raise money despite current market conditions is high, with nearly two-thirds of institutions very confident in their ability. It is a reflection of recent strong performance from some asset classes and their growing acceptance by pension funds.”
