Investors underexposed to burgeoning private alternatives: PGIM Investments study
Jul 10, 2024
New research suggests opportunity abounds for experienced managers in private alternatives, with a whopping two-thirds of surveyed fund selectors reporting that the clients they serve are underinvested in the category.
That is just one takeaway among many to be found in the recently released edition of Gatekeeper Pulse®, the semiannual research report conducted by PGIM Investments to provide timely insights on attitudes and allocation plans among decision-makers for some of the world’s largest financial institutions. The fifth installment in the series, the latest report canvassed 210 gatekeepers in the U.K., continental Europe and Asia at firms that manage a combined $23 trillion in assets (USD).
In terms of asset classes, gatekeeper consensus is highest in predicting improved returns for fixed income in the year ahead and, not surprisingly, intended allocations reflect similar agreement regarding plans to capitalise on the situation. Gatekeepers also share forecasts and related plans regarding risk, AI, interest rates and many other topics of market-moving importance in the full report.
