Fear, FOMO and the Future

Insights from the iConnections Global Investor Survey

The alternative investment industry kicked off the year with a record-breaking gathering at Global Alts Miami, bringing together over 5,000 industry leaders and facilitating an unprecedented 18,000+ meetings between allocators and managers representing $55 trillion of assets. The energy on the ground was palpable, and one thing was clear: investors are leaning into alternatives with confidence, despite keeping a close eye on potential volatility ahead.


We conducted our inaugural iConnections Global Investor Survey, of the most extensive of its kind, engaging with over 700 allocators to gain deep insights into the industry’s current landscape-its challenges, opportunities, and the evolving market dynamics. A key takeaway is clear: allocators are increasingly turning to alternatives, with more than 90% indicating plans to maintain or increase their allocations, while adopting a more cautious stance toward other asset classes.


We look forward to sharing these insights, hearing your feedback, and working together to accelerate investment that advances the world.
