iConnections has become an integral part of the capital introduction process for our firm. Having geographically dispersed conferences allows our firm to tap into markets that are a little less traditional and mainstream, yet the meetings remain high quality. The platform is efficient, user-friendly and continues to improve over time. The iConnections team is well-informed and is very attentive to the needs of both the allocators and managers.

iConnections Announces Global Alts Europe 2027 in Paris
Gladwyne, April 21, 2026 — iConnections today announced the launch of Global Alts Europe 2027, a new addition to its flagship event portfolio, to be held April 28–29, 2027 at Les Salles du Carrousel, Carrousel du Louvre, Paris. The event will bring together institutional allocators, fund managers, and industry leaders for two days of high-value meetings, curated networking, and timely market discussion in one of Europe’s most iconic venues.
The announcement comes at a time of renewed allocator interest in Europe. In a recent iConnections survey conducted at Global Alts Miami, 55% of LP respondents said they intend to allocate to Europe over the next 12 to 18 months, up from 47% last year. With more than half of surveyed LPs signaling planned activity in the region, Global Alts Europe 2027 is designed to meet that demand by creating a focused environment for relationship-building and capital formation.
“
Global Alts Europe is a direct response to what our members have told us they want. For years, we’ve asked our community where we should bring the Global Alts format next, and Europe has consistently emerged as a top priority. We’re excited to bring our one-on-one capital introduction model to Europe, creating a new forum for our members to build relationships and explore opportunities across the alternatives landscape.
— Ron Biscardi, Co-Founder and CEO, iConnections
Set in the heart of Paris at Les Salles du Carrousel, located within the Carrousel du Louvre, the venue offers a central and prestigious setting for an event aimed at the global alternatives community.
Global Alts Europe 2027 will extend the Global Alts brand into a market where investor interest appears to be strengthening after a long period of muted sentiment toward the region. By convening the allocator and manager community in Paris, iConnections aims to create another premier destination for efficient, high-value meetings and insight-sharing across alternatives.
Additional details, including registration and programming updates, are available on the Global Alts Europe 2027 event page.

Perspectives
April Investment Newsletter – Where Allocator Attention Is Going
iConnections will soon release its 2026 Global Allocator Report, built from Global Alts Miami, one of the largest gatherings in alternatives, bringing together 5,000 decision-makers representing over $55 trillion in assets. At the event, we surveyed more than 500 global LPs across regions and allocator types. The message is direct. Demand for alternatives remains strong, but the market has become more exacting. Allocator attention is no longer evenly distributed. It must be earned.
Three takeaways define the shift:
1. Demand is not declining. It is concentrating.
Nearly two-thirds of allocators expect to increase their exposure to alternatives this year. But that growth is not broad-based. Capital is flowing toward strategies that offer liquidity, adaptability, and a clear role in navigating a more uncertain macro environment. The result is a market where attention clusters around a narrower set of high-conviction opportunities.
2. Private markets are hitting the limits of allocator bandwidth.
Meeting volumes remained high across private markets, but the underlying signal is selectivity. Even in large, established categories like private credit, allocators are becoming far more discriminating at the sub-strategy and manager level. Supply has expanded faster than attention. The implication is straightforward: being in the right strategy is no longer sufficient. Differentiation within that strategy now determines outcomes.
3. Allocators are not retreating. They are recycling.
Redemptions in 2025 were not a pullback from alternatives, but a repositioning within them. Capital is being actively reallocated toward higher-conviction, more opportunistic strategies, particularly those that can respond dynamically to volatility and dispersion. Investors remain engaged, but they are underwriting with tighter due diligence and clearer expectations.
The conclusion is a more mature alternatives market. Capital is still moving, and in many cases accelerating, but it is doing so with greater precision. In a larger and more competitive ecosystem, access to that capital is increasingly defined by clarity of strategy, strength of positioning, and the ability to meet a more exacting allocator standard.

Is Private Credit Fundraising OVER? We’re LIVE from MIAMI!
The Wall Street Skinny sits down with Ron Biscardi, the CEO and co-founder of iConnections, live at Global Alts Miami to get the skinny on what’s happening with fund managers and allocators in real time. Last year, private credit was the undisputed darling of investment strategies. Now, on the heels of Blue Owl headlines and concerns about cracks within the private credit markets, headlines seem to suggest a tough road ahead. But reality is far more nuanced. Ron synthesized both emotional reactions and hard data from investors responding to new perceived stresses in the sector in ways that might surprise you. We also learn where smart money is pivoting, where it remains steadfast, which asset classes and investment strategies stand poised to benefit, and how allocators are positioning for highly volatile markets this year.

The episode touches on the economic impact of AI, the ongoing US-China AI race, and investor sentiments. The upcoming challenges and opportunities in the AI sector, both in the US and China, are considered in-depth, alongside broader market implications.
After the break, Dan and Guy are joined by Shannon Murphy, Head of Research at iConnections.
