Research explores opportunities in
Multi-Alternatives Strategies, Core Private Infrastructure, Private
Equity and Commercial Real Estate
NEW
YORK, Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- J.P. Morgan
today released its 2024 outlook for the alternative investment
landscape. www.jpmorgan.com/altsoutlook.
Uncertainty has remained a central theme in financial markets
over the past several years. Surging inflation, rapid interest rate
increases, slowing global growth, increased geopolitical risks and
elevated stock and bond market volatility have all dramatically
shifted the investment landscape, and alternative investments have
not been immune.
To help investors take advantage of these market dynamics, J.P.
Morgan asked experienced investment leaders from across its
$213 billion Global Alternatives
platform to share their 12- to 18-month outlooks on several
alternative investment markets. Their insights into the trends,
risks and opportunities influencing multi-alternatives strategies,
core private infrastructure, private equity and commercial real
estate are featured in individual papers within the research.
"The case for investing in alternatives remains as strong as
ever," said Anton Pil, Global Head
of Alternatives for J.P. Morgan Asset Management. "These assets
have historically helped investors diversify traditional portfolios
by pursuing investment returns largely independent from publicly
traded equity and bond markets, potentially helping to diversify
portfolio correlations, lower overall volatility, expand investment
income sources, mitigate inflation risk and enhance both absolute
and risk-adjusted performance."
Looking ahead into 2024, the firm expects to see growing demand
for alternative investments driven by three broad themes:
Displacement: Much of 2023 saw a slowdown in private
market activity, which broadly pressured pricing in many
alternative assets. This opened considerable investment value in
some segments and could result in a compelling 2024 vintage,
especially if the current interest-rate tightening cycle proves to
be at or near its peak.
Democratization: Investment innovation continues to
expand access to alternative investments through a growing range of
strategies and structures available to a much broader number of
investors.
Diversification: The investment markets of the past few
years have shown the limits of relying solely on traditional stocks
and bonds to provide adequate portfolio diversification in the
current market cycle. Alternative investments can offer solutions
to tap into new, dynamic investment opportunities designed to help
better balance portfolio risk/return exposures.
