IFM survey: 67% of North American respondents prefer domestic private markets

Sixty-three percent of North American respondents cite inflation as a top portfolio risk, compared with 55 percent globally.

At a glance

  1. Sixty-three percent of North American respondents name inflation as one of the largest risks facing their portfolios, versus 55 percent globally.
  2. Globally, only 21 percent of respondents say their portfolios are designed to perform consistently across all economic conditions, and 9 percent describe their portfolios as vulnerable to economic shocks.
  3. The survey summary does not separate real estate from other private asset classes or state how many of the 700 respondents are North American, so the 67 percent figure cannot be tied to a specific respondent count.
