Institutional investment managers expect 2018 to bring increased
volatility, a continued shift towards active management and
increased allocations to alternative products, according to a
Natixis Investment Managers survey of 500 global institutional
investors. While 72% of respondents expressed surprise that
volatility remained low for so long, 78% said markets will be more
volatile in 2018 and 70% think the bond market will see more
volatility. Within that context, 76% of respondents stated that
active management will increasingly gain popularity over passive
management strategies, with increased allocations to alternative
assets, including private equity, private debt, real estate and
infrastructure seeing the largest boost as a result.
