In the midst of a wild and volatile year across global markets and for geopolitical events, the recent iConnections Midyear Global Investor report confirmed allocators remain strongly dedicated to alternative investments. iConnections conducted a targeted investor sentiment survey of nearly 100 global allocators at Global Alts New York to assess shifts in outlook since our broader benchmark survey of 700 investors at Global Alts Miami in January. This follow-up comes at a time of heightened economic uncertainty, persistent geopolitical tensions, and mixed signals from global central banks-prompting us to examine how investor perspectives have evolved in the face of ongoing volatility.
