Survey of 130 fund selectors

A new survey has found that 27% of fund selectors say that their firm is shifting investment strategy from public markets to private markets.

CoreData's survey, which interviewed 130 European fund selectors throughout June, found that the push towards private markets may be due to performance, with 31% of respondents thinking that private markets offer stronger return prospects than public markets going forward.
