Study Reveals Consultants' Impact on Pension Funds
Update: 2025-11-17
Description
A new study uncovers the significant influence of a small group of investment consultants on steering U.S. pension funds towards private markets like private equity, real estate, and hedge funds. Over the past two decades, these consultants have tripled the amount held in alternative investments, now making up a substantial portion of total investments. The study raises questions about the long-term impact of these recommendations, as consultants have quietly influenced the retirement savings of many. The research suggests that consultants have been advising pensions to buy more of something that looks like stocks, promising higher returns, but theres ongoing debate about whether alternative assets truly provide superior returns.
