Laxman Pai, Opalesque Asia: Almost nine in ten (87%) alternative fund managers predict inflows into alternatives from pension funds to increase over the next 18 months, said a study.
According to the new research by Ocorian, almost two-fifths (36%) of these expect a dramatic increase. This compares with just 9% who think levels will stay the same and 3% who predict a slight fall.
Its study with alternative fund managers across the UK, US, and Europe found almost three quarters (72%) expect inflows into alternatives from private banks to increase over the next 18 months, with 33% expecting these to increase dramatically. Around 20% think levels will stay the same and 6% predict a slight fall.
This is followed by six out of 10 (61%) who expect inflows into alternatives from corporates to increase over the next 18 months, with 34% expecting dramatic increases. Around a third (32%) predict levels will stay the same and 4% predict a slight fall.
The research from Ocorian, which manages over 15,000 structures on behalf of 6,000+ clients globally, shows the rise in inflows comes at a time when alternative asset managers believe the levels of attractive investment opportunities are also on the up.
More than nine in ten (93%) alternative asset managers see the levels of attractive investment opportunities increasing in the next three years, with 17% predicting a dramatic increase. Only 5% think levels will stay the same, and just 2% think levels will slightly fall....................... To view our full article Click here
