Cerulli estimates advisors hold about $2.2 trillion in less-than-fully-liquid private capital products and expects that to grow by $2 trillion over five years. Interval funds, other semi-liquid vehicles and alternative allocation models drive the outlook, with client demand for income cited as a main reason.

Editorial
How we choose
- Inclusion is editorial. No publisher pays to be listed, and none can.
- We leave out any piece that features or recommends a specific fund, ETF, model portfolio or other product.
- Summaries are AdvisorIQ's own words. We link to the original on the publisher's site rather than copy it.
- We do not list pieces behind a paywall or a registration form, or pieces from media outlets and advisor platforms; we link to the original source instead.
