A new study from alts platform iCapital found that advisor usage of alternative investments continues to gain momentum, despite some of the challenges that faced private credit. However, asset allocation preferences have shifted as well as what advisors are prioritizing when it comes to alts technology. Overall, the study found that 89% of surveyed advisors plan to maintain or increase allocations to alternatives. In addition, this year’s study found that the percentage of advisors who said they planned to increase allocations rose to 39%, up from 14% in the 2025 version. (Conversely, the percentage of advisors that said they plan to allocate less also doubled from 5% in 2025 to 11% in 2026.)
