Institutional Investors' Focus Areas

Institutional investors are primarily concerned with participant engagement and experience, especially within pension funds that are assessing their funded status and potential de-risking strategies. These investors are exploring varying asset mixes, balancing public and private assets, as well as active versus passive investment styles. A critical aspect of their approach involves evaluating valuations to identify the best opportunities in a market that is currently deemed not particularly cheap. Additionally, there is a trend towards streamlining partners, as institutions aim to reduce the noise in their partner lists and engage more deeply with fewer, more insightful relationships.
