What central themes will feed into long-term asset allocation decisions in 2025? Find out when you read the latest Insights+ report, Asset Allocation: Outlook 2025 by Paul Sinthunont, CFA: https://okt.to/7BfLPT Explore some key findings below: • As private equity deal activity builds on the back of monetary loosening, more exits could unlock liquidity for private equity allocators • Potential for upward momentum on venture capital allocations after a two-year performance trough and more favourable terms for VCs • Downward pressure on yield – stemming from interest rate cuts and tighter deployment conditions – could lead to a more tempered return environment for private debt • Allocators may look to real estate debt, private debt, and infrastructure to supplement income generation, particularly as real estate equity cap rates face downward pressure • Stability of infrastructure returns is attractive to allocators, but attention may shift away from renewables and toward traditional energy and telecoms #alternativeinvestment #AssetAllocation #alternativesassets #privateequity
