The event was also attended by other institutional representatives, including Jos\u00e9 Luis Garc\u00eda Muelas&nbsp;from&nbsp;Loreto Mutua, among others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the session, participants&nbsp;analysed&nbsp;how regulatory changes,&nbsp;particularly within the frameworks of IORP II and Solvency II,&nbsp;can act as a catalyst for increased allocation to private markets. Interest in this asset class is&nbsp;growing:&nbsp;nearly 40%&nbsp;of institutional investors expect to increase their private equity investments over the next year, and more than 50% of large asset owners have already increased their exposure to private markets in response to the current economic and geopolitical environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spain still\u00a0maintains\u00a0a high concentration in fixed income within institutional portfolios, which limits access to structural sources of long-term returns. Moving towards more diversified models will be key to strengthening the sustainability of the pension system. Key topics also included the role of the lower mid-market,\u00a0given its higher return potential and lower correlation,\u00a0the evolution of\u00a0evergreen vehicles, and the need to strengthen a solid complementary pension pillar supported by large, long-term institutional investors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At\u00a0Qualitas\u00a0Funds, we see these types of events as an important way to bring alternative investment closer to institutional investors, and we would like to thank all the speakers, as well as the attendees, for their participation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allocation to private\u00a0equity\u00a0by insurance companies and pension funds in Spain\u00a0remains\u00a0below the European average, highlighting significant room for convergence and growth,\u00a0particularly in a context of regulatory evolution under IORP II and Solvency II. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":6863,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-qualitas-funds-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
