The conclusions show that high-net-worth private wealth investors plan to increase their allocation to the private equity market in 2026. The report points out that 86% of private wealth practitioners plan to increase their investments in the private equity market this year, with portfolio optimization being the primary reason. The survey shows that currently, 97% of the respondents allocate private equity market assets to clients ranging from 1% to 20%, with most expecting this allocation ratio to increase further by 2026. Respondents stated that their private equity market investment strategies are relatively balanced: private equity accounts for 19%, private real estate for 18%, private credit for 16%, venture capital and growth investments for 16%, and private infrastructure investments for 15%.
