The alternative investments industry shows uneven growth, with compound annual growth rate (CAGR) projections for wealth dominating future opportunities for asset managers, wrote Aaron Filbeck, managing director of global content strategy at the CAIA Association, in a recent blog. While institutional investors currently dominate the space, increasing retail participation and higher allocations to alternative assets could unlock trillions of dollars in new opportunities. Filbeck emphasized that the industry must strategically adapt through infrastructure development, investor education and product innovation to fully capitalize on this potential.
