Six insights shaping institutional investing

1. Rethinking diversification

Asset owners are broadening exposures across geographies, asset types and cycles to manage risk and opportunity. 

2. Culture shapes TPA success

Adopting a total portfolio approach (TPA) requires collaboration and breaking down internal silos. 

3. Private markets reshaped

Private credit is rising, private equity distributions are slowing, and secondaries are emerging as a key lever for liquidity and flexibility.

4. AI needs a pilot for better outcomes

AI is transforming investing, but only delivers value when teams know how to harness it effectively.

5. Transition drives allocation

Investors are embedding energy transition themes across portfolios to align with long-term capital and policy shifts.

6. Staying agile in uncertainty

Asset owners are expanding scenario analysis and stress testing to better understand unprecedented change and position portfolio for resilience.
