Wealth managers in the UK and Switzerland are increasingly viewing alternatives as a core portfolio allocation, with more than half suggesting an optimal allocation of up to 25 per cent.

A study by Brookfield Asset Management’s Alts Institute, which provides financial advice and resources, found growing adoption of alternative investments among wealth managers. Respondents identified private equity, infrastructure, private credit and real estate as the asset classes most likely to see increased allocations over the next one to two years.
