Private markets have a 'unique opportunity' to
accelerate capital deployment from traditional markets to
alternative assets as global economic conditions worsen, Ocorian,
the global diversified financial services group,
predicts.
Growth in the year ahead will focus on pure private market
investments, and a shift towards multi alternative asset
strategies. Ocorian also forecasts an increased focus on distressed
asset funds which will be longer term and closed ended.
Alternative assets are growing in popularity as they offer the
potential for attractive yields and low correlation to economic
conditions such as interest rates and inflation, unlike bonds and
equities.
However, the sector needs to speed up on standardisation and
tokenisation to match traditional markets. Ocorian estimates the
sector has up to 18 months to achieve what traditional markets have
done in 12 years in this area.
