On June 11th, Coller Capital released the latest edition of the "Global Private Capital Barometer," which showed that investors (limited partners, hereinafter referred to as LPs) are expected to continue increasing their allocation to alternative assets in the coming year. Investors in general plan to increase their allocation to alternative assets, reflecting their optimism towards fund cash distributions, especially in the private equity sector. The data shows that 86% of investors expect to receive higher cash distributions from their invested private equity funds in 2024 compared to the previous year. Among them, as many as 95% of investors in the Asia-Pacific region expect to receive higher cash distributions this year, while the percentages of investors in North America and Europe holding this view are 91% and 77% respectively. It is reported that the 40th edition of the "Barometer" surveyed a total of 110 global private capital market investors, managing a total of $2.1 trillion in assets. The survey results show that one-third (31%) of investors plan to increase their investments in alternative assets in the next 12 months, while another three-fifths (59%) plan to maintain their current allocation levels. Among the investors, the largest number plan to increase their allocation to private credit (45%), with one-third of the interviewed investors expecting to increase their investments in infrastructure (33%) and private equity (31%). The survey results also reflect investors' desire to further diversify their investments and gain more liquidity. 38% of the interviewed LPs stated their intention to increase their allocation to the private secondary market. Among them, the interest of Asia-Pacific LPs in the private secondary market is particularly strong, with 67% of investors planning to increase their allocation, higher than their European (34%) and North American (29%) counterparts. Investors' optimism aligns with the solid overall performance of the private equity market in recent years. 62% of investors stated that since investing in private equity, their investment portfolios have achieved an annualized net return rate of 11% to 15%. In addition, over a quarter (26%) of investors reported an annualized net return rate of 16-20% for their private equity investment portfolios. Jeremy Coller, Chief Investment Officer and Managing Partner of Coller Capital, stated: "All survey results reflect investors' confidence in alternative assets. LPs not only plan to maintain their allocation to alternative assets but also actively consider increasing their investments to achieve attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns. This trend is particularly evident in the private equity secondary market. Many investors are planning to increase their investments in this area in order to diversify their investments and create liquidity."
