Annual survey sheds light on upcoming investment strategies and behaviors.
NEW YORK, June 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Intralinks®, the world's leading virtual data room (VDR) provider, announced today the initial results of its 2018 LP Survey which, among other things, found that nearly two-thirds of the limited partners (LPs) queried expect to increase their allocations to alternative investments in 2018.
"The equity markets this year are again seeing more volatility. As a result, diversification into actively managed alternative funds continues to be a strong 'pull' factor," said Matthew Porzio, SVP Marketing & Strategic Business Development at Intralinks.
The second annual survey, a collaboration between Intralinks and Global Fund Media, covers a diverse range of topics including investment preferences, the operational due diligence (ODD) process, gender diversity, transparency and direct investing. More than 150 limited partners responded to the survey, the full findings of which will be published in September.
"The relationship between LPs and general partners (GPs) plays a significant role in everything from private equity capital and hedge funds to private credit and real estate investing," said Leif O'Leary, CEO of Intralinks. "This survey provides critical insights into that relationship by giving GPs a crystal ball of sorts."
