Private Equity Expected To Big Winner Among Alternative Investments In 2015?! Private equity continues to gain steam among institutional investors, and is claiming a growing share of the alternative asset portfolios of these institutions. Based on Global Private Equity Barometer Winter 2014-2015 surveys on 114 institutional private equity investors, we could assess the prospect of such alternative assets as •Returns from, and appetite for, PE •Hedge fund commitments •Investments in real assets •The impact of new regulation on financial markets •Direct investments •DC pension schemes as a source of funding •Gender diversity and PE returns •Venture capital •The debt markets •The European economy •The exit environment A solid 93% of institutional investors project annual net returns of 11%+ from across their PE portfolio over the next 3-5 years. Of note, just 81% of investors had the same expectations two years ago. Improved return expectations are driven especially by European and North American buyouts – though improved returns are expected across all types of private equity except Asia-Pacific buyouts.
