Laxman Pai, Opalesque Asia: Notwithstanding general public market headwinds, new capital alternative allocations in 2022 jumped to $144 billion, an increase of over 10%, across more than 1,000 individual mandates, said a study.
The third annual Alternatives Watch (AW) Research Investor Compendium commissioned by Vidrio Financial reported an increase in investor interest across infrastructure and real asset strategies to the tune of $6.9bn and $4.9bn respectively.
In 2021, AW's second annual compendium tracked a total of $130 billion in new capital across more than 900 individual institutional investor mandates from 50 of the top alternative allocators.
Over 1,000 investor mandates were examined to understand where leading strategic allocators were targeting for alternative investments as the pace of those allocations accelerated from 2021.
While private equity assets saw a muted slowdown, a pick-up in activity in hedge funds was noted as large institutional players sought to purchase risk-mitigating assets throughout the year.
New breakouts in infrastructure and real asset strategies have been included to act as inflation hedges, the report said.
Total private equity and venture capital mandates accounted for over half the mandates in this compendium and were spread out across the world, as investors embraced life sciences and technology sectors.
