(FINalternatives) Alternative investors have significantly increased their asset class diversity over the past year, according to new research from data provider Preqin, while satisfaction with private equity is at record levels.
More than a third of investors have exposure to at least four alternative asset classes at the start of 2017, a significant increase from a year ago, while half now hold allocations to three or more, the company said in a statement. The observations, included in Preqin’s H1 2017 Investor Outlook: Alternative Assets, are based on a survey of 533 institutional investors conducted by Preqin in December 2016.
