The 2026 MSCI General Partner Survey found a widening gap between GPs’ ambitions for growth and the infrastructure needed to support them. In this podcast, Luke Flemmer, MSCI’s Head of Private Assets, examines what the findings mean for the industry — from mounting LP pressure for realized returns to the industry’s biggest capability gap: advanced data, technology and AI.

Drawing on responses from 130 GPs across 12 countries, the conversation examines why consistent DPI has become the top strategic priority, where operational risk is most concentrated and what separates firms positioned to scale from those that are struggling to keep pace.
