SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSNC) today announced the results of the SS&C Intralinks 2025 LP Survey. Produced in association with Private Equity Wire, the survey of 171 global investors found that 62% of limited partners (LPs) plan to increase or maintain their allocations to alternatives over the next 12 months. Additionally, 78% of LPs surveyed expect deal activity to pick up over the coming year, bolstered by the influx of new funds and deal structures in private markets.
“Despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, there is optimism about increased deal activity,” said Bob Petrocchi, Co-Head of SS&C Intralinks. “Even with declining valuations and performance concerns, private equity and private debt continue outperforming other asset classes and attracting interest. According to our research, 60% of LPs are satisfied with digital transformation in dealmaking but believe GPs could do more to enhance their operational performance.”
Other key findings include:
- Private equity generated the best risk-adjusted returns of alternative assets over the past 12 months, followed by private credit.
- 75% of LPs surveyed prefer the U.S. and Canada as investment regions, followed by the U.K. and Europe (49%).
- LPs are most concerned about valuations and geopolitical uncertainty as critical challenges to the welfare of their portfolios.
- LPs are increasingly seeking a unified platform to monitor their entire portfolio. While nearly 70% already leverage technology for portfolio monitoring, most (81%) say there is a need for better data aggregation across multiple funds into a single platform.
