Despite the majority of institutional investors hoping to increase their investment in alternatives over the next five years, there is major concern that regulatory complexities could pose a barrier to entry, according to new research carried out by Clearwater Analytics (CWAN).

According to a survey conducted by Clearwater Analytics, more than half (55%) of the surveyed asset managers, insurers, pension funds and corporate investors expect to invest more in the alternatives sector over the next five years.

The insurance industry has grown its assets under management to $3.6 trillion and boosted its private asset class investments by 40% over the last two years, according to a new report from Clearwater Analytics.
