Infrastructure and transport assets are positioned to benefit from reconfigured supply chains and trade dynamics.

J.P. Morgan Asset Management ha pubblicato la sua settima edizione annuale del Global Alternatives Outlook, offrendo una prospettiva di 12-18 mesi su importanti classi di attivi alternativi. Il rapporto analizza le opportunità di investimento in mezzo a cambiamenti nelle politiche globali, concentrandosi su private equity, private credit, immobili, infrastrutture e trasporti, fondi hedge e secondaries.

Gli attivi in infrastruttura e trasporti sono posizionati per beneficiare delle catene di approvvigionamento e delle dinamiche commerciali ristrutturate. I secondari offrono accesso efficiente all'attività di private equity e private credit, mentre il private equity si prevede che beneficerà di politiche favorevoli alla crescita che migliorano la redditività aziendale. Il private credit continua a guadagnare quote di mercato, e i fondi hedge sono posizionati per navigare le mutate politiche con opportunità di generazione di alpha.

J.P. Morgan Asset Management hat seinen siebten jährlichen Global Alternatives Outlook veröffentlicht, der einen 12- bis 18-monatigen Ausblick auf wichtige alternative Anlageklassen bietet. Der Bericht analysiert Investitionsmöglichkeiten im Kontext globaler Politikverschiebungen und konzentriert sich auf privates Eigenkapital, private Kredite, Immobilien, Infrastruktur und Transport, Hedgefonds und Sekundärmarkt.
Der Ausblick hebt mehrere zentrale Themen hervor: Immobilien bieten potenziellen Inflationsschutz durch Mietsteigerungen, wobei US-Immobilien eine generationenübergreifende Investitionsmöglichkeit darstellen. Infrastruktur- und Transportanlagen sind gut positioniert, um von neu konfigurierten Lieferketten und Handelsdynamiken zu profitieren. Sekundärmärkte bieten effizienten Zugang zu Aktivitäten im Bereich privates Eigenkapital und private Kredite, während privatwirtschaftliches Eigenkapital voraussichtlich von wachstumsfördernden Politiken profitieren wird, die die Unternehmensrentabilität steigern. Private Kredite gewinnen weiterhin Marktanteile, und Hedgefonds sind in der Lage, durch die Navigation von politischen Veränderungen Chancen zur Alpha-Generierung zu nutzen.

Insights
The 2025 Alternatives Outlook from J.P. Morgan signals a pivotal shift in investment dynamics, particularly noteworthy for institutional investors and wealth managers navigating complex market conditions. The report's timing is especially relevant as the U.S. economy enters its mid-to-late cycle stage, presenting unique opportunities across alternative asset classes.
Three key strategic insights emerge from this comprehensive analysis:
- Real Estate Renaissance: The identification of a "generational investment opportunity" in U.S. real estate markets suggests a potential inflection point. This assessment, coming from J.P. Morgan's 50-year track record in private markets, carries significant weight and could signal a strategic entry point for long-term investors.
- Infrastructure's Dual Advantage: The focus on infrastructure and transport assets reflects a sophisticated understanding of both inflation protection needs and evolving global trade dynamics. These assets are positioned to benefit from structural changes in supply chains, offering both defensive characteristics and growth potential.
- Secondaries Evolution: The expansion of secondaries markets, particularly in relation to private wealth access, represents a structural shift in alternative investments. This development could democratize access to private markets while providing enhanced liquidity solutions.
The report's emphasis on positive stock-bond correlations and persistent rate volatility underscores a fundamental challenge to traditional portfolio construction. This environment potentially marks a secular shift away from conventional 60/40 portfolios, making the case for alternatives more compelling than in previous cycles.
A critical consideration for investors is the report's nuanced view on private equity valuations, particularly regarding investments made during the low-rate environment. This cautionary note suggests a more selective approach may be necessary in private market investments, with increased emphasis on operational value creation rather than financial engineering.
Research explores private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure and transport, hedge funds, and secondaries
The Outlook provides investors with insights into how these changes are expected to impact private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure and transport, hedge funds, and secondaries, offering opportunities for growth, diversification, and inflation protection.
Jed Laskowitz, Global Head of Private Markets and Customized Solutions: "Our 2025 Alternatives Outlook leverages our more than 50-year track record as a private markets investor, and this year's outlook comes at a time when many types of investors are evaluating their allocations to alternatives. With the US economy in a mid-to-late cycle stage, private markets present potential opportunities for enhanced returns versus public markets, inflation protection, and diversification benefits."
Anton Pil, Global Head of Alternatives Solutions: "In an environment where traditional portfolios face headwinds such as high valuations, positive stock-bond correlations, and persistent rate volatility, the case for alternatives becomes increasingly compelling. These conditions underscore the importance of diversifying with alternative investments to achieve more resilient portfolio outcomes."
Some of the key themes revealed across asset classes in the 2025 Alternatives Outlook include:
Real Estate:
- Growth and Inflation Protection: Pro-growth policies are expected to bolster net operating income growth, with real estate offering potential inflation protection through rent increases and property revenue growth.
- Valuation Opportunities:
U.S. real estate presents a generational investment opportunity as valuations appear to be bottoming out, with improving fundamentals.
Infrastructure and Transport:
- Inflation and Trade Dynamics: Infrastructure and transport assets are well-positioned to provide critical inflation protection as we may see reconfigured supply chains and trade agreements evolve.
- Global Transport: Transport assets are expected to benefit from changes in global trade routes and increased demand for domestic logistics.
Secondaries:
- Capital Deployment: Secondaries offer efficient access to private equity and private credit activity, allowing investors to capitalize on growth-oriented companies while mitigating j-curve and blind pool risks. The expansion of alternatives into the private wealth market has also led to a rise in semi-liquid structures, which typically rely on secondaries to source liquidity and invest.
Private Equity:
- Pro-Growth Policies:
U.S. tax reform and deregulation are anticipated to enhance corporate profitability, reviving IPOs, M&A, and lending activities. This environment is expected to create favorable conditions for private equity dealmaking and exits. - Valuation Considerations: Investors should be mindful of valuations, especially for investments initiated in the post-pandemic, low-interest-rate environment.
Private Credit:
- Lending Opportunities: A robust
U.S. growth environment and deregulatory agenda are likely to support both public and private lending, with private credit continuing to capture market share. - Interest Rate Impact: Higher interest rates could pressure lower-quality borrowers, but also create opportunities for distressed and special situations credit strategies.
Hedge Funds:
- Volatility and Alpha Generation: Hedge funds are poised to navigate fiscal and monetary policy shifts, with market volatility offering opportunities for alpha generation, particularly through long/short strategies and macro hedge funds.
- Diversification: Given high correlations in equity and fixed income markets, hedge funds provide compelling diversification benefits and offer uncorrelated sources of retu
