Brunswick Group recently published our new research on the growing opportunity for alternative investment managers to raise capital from private wealth. The findings highlighted that despite 82% of financial advisors frequently recommending their clients invest in some type of alternative asset, only 38% of the wealthy individuals with an advisor are actually invested in them. This substantial gap indicates that financial advisors need further support to help convince high-net-worth individual (HNWI) investors to include alternative investments in their portfolios. Findings from Talking to Private Wealth: Perceptions of Alternative Investments are based on a survey of U.S. financial advisors and wealthy investors, capturing their perspectives on the benefits of alternative investments and areas of concern.

New survey data from Brunswick Group finds that while asset and wealth management firms have made efforts to grow adoption of alternative investments among wealthy individuals and their advisors, a lack of familiarity among individual investors presents a key barrier to increasing allocations.    Findings from Talking to Private Wealth: Perceptions of Alternative Investments are based on a recent survey of Financial Advisors and High-Net-Worth-Individual (HNWI) investors in the U.S., capturing their perspectives on the benefits of alternative investments and areas of concern. The data also shows significantly higher interest in the asset class among younger investors.
