From Credit to CRE: Texas Investors Find Opportunities in Evolving Markets and Policy Changes

Markets Group has conducted a comprehensive survey following our 11th Annual Texas Institutional Forum, gathering insights from leading allocators at prominent Public Pension Funds, Endowments, Foundations, and Corporate Pension Funds. The findings reveal how Texas institutional investors are capitalizing on emerging credit and real estate opportunities, stepping in as banks scale back due to tighter regulations. With a focus on direct lending, distressed debt, and specialized strategies, investors are navigating complex markets to secure liquidity and attractive returns amid a questionably volatile economic landscape.

From the Sidelines: Navigating Opportunity and Innovation at our 7th Private Equity San Francisco forum

Last week, our Private Equity San Francisco 2024 forum brought together over 400 private equity leaders from across the U.S. to explore the latest opportunities and challenges defining the future of private markets. From in-depth discussions on liquidity and secondaries to cutting-edge insights on AI’s role in transforming investment strategies, this was far from your typical PE gathering. It felt more like a deep dive into the strategies and innovations that will shape the industry for years to come.
