According to Preqin – alternative assets are expected to grow on average 9.8% per year and surge to $17 trillion by 2025. Feeding this growth is not just increasing investor demand for volatility dampers and new sources of return opportunities, but also the strategic deployment of new technologies and business model innovations to automate and streamline much of the industry’s processes.
For an investor, the ability of alternative investments to outperform more traditional investments is the primary reason for participation in this asset class; perceived risk and lack of liquidity are the principal deterrents.

Real estate sector is one of the most globally recognized sectors. The growth of this sector is well complemented by the growth in the corporate environment and the demand for office space as well as urban and semi-urban accommodations.
Real Estate investment professionals have come a long way this past decade, and now India has a wide range of managers with track records and a wealth of experience. While the quality of managers is improving, a few firms without a strong history of real estate investing have also capitalised on the momentum and are building exciting platforms to democratise real estate investments.

Similarly pension products are a prisoner of deep procrastination among a bulk of the populace who believe retirement is something in the distant future. A quick look at some of the new insurance and pension products made available over the past few decades shows numerous examples of sustaining innovation. The industry does seem to know how to meet the needs of its consumers. Similarly
While current customers may seem content with the choices available to them, with a vast underserved population, both the insurance and pension product manufacturers need to be much more innovative and imaginative in structuring new products.
