Post credit-crisis demand for high returns has prompted investors to increase allocations to alternative assets, according to a recent LPEQ and Scorpio Partnership study.
LPEQ, a group of European listed private equity funds and firms, found that although private equity funds account for only 11 percent of respondents’ allocated assets, 50 percent of the chief executive officers and senior investment professionals surveyed expect to increase their private equity allocations in the next year.
