Foreword

For 20 years, Coller Capital’s Global Private Capital Barometer has been the go-to research snapshot for our industry, a widely respected and much-used window into the priorities of investors everywhere.

But over those two decades, the market in which we all operate has changed almost beyond recognition. It has evolved, becoming deeper, wider, more complex and growing to encompass far more asset types than was previously the case. So this edition, our 40th, carries a new name: the Global Private Capital Barometer. We feel it better reflects the rapidly expanding nature of our industry.

Not everything is changing though: you’ll still find the same unique and compelling insights that have been the publication’s hallmark since the beginning. And this edition has a particularly good story to tell on alternative assets, as LPs stand ready to not just maintain their allocations but to actively increase them as they seek attractive, long-term risk adjusted returns. Nowhere is that clearer than in private market secondaries, where LPs have seen the diversification and liquidity on offer.

It’s a huge vote of confidence for alternative assets, and an extremely positive note on which to enter this new era for the Global Private Capital Barometer.
