Investors' demand versus providers' plans for different products worldwide 2021

Alternative investment products ranked highest both in terms of future demand and supply, according to a global survey among investors and investment providers conducted in 2021. According to the survey results, 61 percent of investment providers were planning to offer alternative investment products in the next two years. Meanwhile, 67 percent of investors were planning use this investment product more over the same period. Alternative investment products typically relate to investment outside traditional products such as stocks, bonds, and cash. Followed by recent economic trends, an increase in alternative asset popularity is not uncommon. Institutional, high-worth, and family firm investors all directly or indirectly invest in alternative assets during times of volatility as returns have a lower correlation to the standard asset classes such as bonds or stocks, generating revenue in times of lower yields.
