Institutional Investors to put more money into alternatives and multi-Asset strategies Thursday, April 01, 2021 Laxman Pai, Opalesque Asia: Institutional investors in the post-covid market landscape may be looking to put more money toward multi-asset strategies and shifting money into private (away from the public) markets, said a survey. According to Nuveen's inaugural "Global Institutional Investor Study", the pandemic is causing many institutional investors to shift the assets in their portfolios to alternatives and multi-asset solutions. They are also seeking clarity on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) as an alpha driver. "In another signal of portfolio management challenge and opportunity for major institutions, investors are giving stronger consideration to the private markets for alternative investment strategies, while also grappling with significant hurdles to implementation," said the survey.
