The Convergence of Alternatives with Traditional Allocations and Why It Matters

Whether investors want to believe it or not, alternatives are a mature asset class. Even in private equity—where there is still a healthy rate of new adopters—we are seeing a state of overcapitalization and reversion to a mean of relative performance. We have recognized this at SEI and maintain that exposures to alternatives should not be considered separately or on a stand-alone basis. To simply consume a “reported performance” outcome of an alternatives allocation leaves investors open to sub-optimization across total allocations.
