Private Equity continues to attract institutional investors

Private Equity represents an increasingly important investment opportunity for institutional investors. These are the findings of a survey conducted by Schroders among 770 investors in 36 countries, representing $34.7 billion in assets.

" In response to the growing trend of de-globalization, more than half of those surveyed believe that investors will look to invest in companies with more localized supply chains, with developed market equities (32%) and Private Equity (23%) seen as the best opportunities over the next few years."

As the study states, " Private Equity, private lending and real assets - infrastructure and real estate - were the areas in which investors said they were most likely to increase their exposure over the coming year and beyond. Thematically, investors are aware that private assets are directly linked to the enduring trends of disruption and progress that will be catalyzed by rapidly improving AI technology, the ongoing energy transition and decarbonization, and demographic change.
