SS&C Intralinks recently published the seventh annual 2023 LP Survey, in association with Private Equity Wire, to provide a global overview of limited partner (LP) sentiment as it relates to the performance and resilience of alternative asset portfolios. The findings cover a variety of themes influenced by economic and geopolitical challenges like rising interest rates, inflation, global energy-supply crisis, conflict in Ukraine and more. We asked 200 global investors for their responses to the pressing questions that general partners (GPs) want to know the answers to.

Alternative investments have been gaining attention for some time, and this has only increased during the market volatility of 2022. In the wake of a market decline in which the traditional 60/40 portfolio has offered little shelter, investors are once again assessing future asset allocations. In particular, bonds may not be able to play the kind of stabilizing, if not additive role, that they have in recent years, especially if we see a return to the type of slow economic growth and high inflation that characterized the 1970s.

Recently, SS&C’s Research, Analytics and Consulting wrote a piece for Ignites, where we outlined our 2020 predictions for the asset and wealth management industries.  The following is a more in-depth review of our 2020 predictions.
