The 'Retail Revolution' Will Drive 50%+ of Private Market Flows by 2027 – State Street Private Markets Survey
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) today launched its global Private Markets Survey Report 'The New Private Markets Advantage'. The democratisation of private markets is a trend that has been underway for a number of years; however, 2025 has the potential to be a watershed year for retail allocations to private markets. Among the key takeaways, Institutional investors are anticipating a significant uptick in retail allocations to private markets in the next two years, with retail investors set to become the main source of private market fundraising in this period, according to the latest iteration of State Street's private markets research. 1 The survey of 500 institutional investors, including traditional asset managers, private markets managers and asset owners across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, finds that the majority of respondents (56%) now believe at least half of private market flows will come through semi-liquid, retail-style vehicles marketed to individuals within 1-2 years. Product innovation in the semi-liquid fund space is the most recognised enabler of this 'retail revolution', cited by 44% of respondents globally as the best means for driving the democratisation of private markets. Recent examples range from the launch of pioneering funds like private asset ETFs to structural innovations such as the UK's LTAF and EU's ELTIF 2.0 rules. Notably, such innovation ranked slightly lower (37%) among North American respondents, whose primary response was 'lowering means-based barriers to entry' (44%), such as wealth or income minimum thresholds. More than two in five (22%) respondents believe retail-style vehicles will be the main fundraising mechanism for private markets, up considerably from 14% last year. While enhanced appetite from retail investors is in part driving this demand, a drop-off in expectations for traditional fundraising from institutional investors is also contributing: just 39% of respondents now expect traditional fundraising to account for most flows, down from 51% last year. Donna Milrod, chief product officer and head of Digital Asset Solutions at State Street, commented: The democratisation of private markets is a trend that has been underway for a number of years; however, 2025 has the potential to be a watershed year for retail allocations to private markets. Distribution to wealth channels and retail fund flows could become the dominant contributor to future fundraising. Against this backdrop, we are pleased to see respondents recognising the critical role that innovative fund products and structures are playing in fuelling and enhancing this trend as distribution broadens from institutional to mass affluent to retail over the coming years.' 'Flight to quality' now entrenched in investment strategies, as anticipated rate of private markets growth slows This year's findings support indications from earlier State Street research that the higher interest rate environment which began in the early 2020s has led to a growing focus on due diligence and risk/return assessments among investors, which has in turn prompted a pivot away from riskier private assets and towards a smaller pool of high-quality options. 2 Overall, LPs and GPs both predict a private/public split of 42%/58% in their (or their clients') portfolios within 3-5 years' time, which represents a slight increase in their respective current allocations of 39%/61% (LPs) and 38%/62% (GPs). At the same time, the 2025 data reveals a year-on-year shift in capital allocation plans from emerging to developed markets. Developed Europe saw a significant jump in interest, with 63% of LPs now planning investments in the region over the next two years (up from 43% last year), while other developed markets remained largely steady. Emerging APAC has seen the biggest decline in forecasted appetite, with just 14% of LPs planning to invest there (down from 25% last year), while emerging Europe dropped to 18% from 21%. The Middle East and Africa also declined significantly, albeit from low bases. State Street contends that this preference for developed markets, in conjunction with more modest growth in allocations, constitutes a flight to quality (or flight from risk) in institutions' private markets strategies. Scott Carpenter, global head of Alternatives at State Street, commented: 'Private markets remain on a robust growth trajectory, though the pace of expansion as a share of portfolios has moderated from the exceptional levels seen pre-2024. The renewed macroeconomic uncertainty linked to US trade policy, following so immediately from the inflation shock of the pandemic years, is only likely to encourage institutions to be even more selective about how they allocate.' Geopolitical uncertainty complicates the outlook for private market assets and retail-style products State Street's study highlights that the current geopolitical uncertainty surrounding international trade relationships could support private markets. The smoother, less volatile returns typically delivered by private market assets are a key part of their appeal, cited by around a quarter of respondents as their reason for increasing allocations to private equity (22%) and infrastructure (26%), while as many as 42% said the same for private credit. However, the report underlines that trade-related uncertainty is likely to distort the definition of 'quality' in ways specific to the economic environment that ends up occurring. As an example, when polled prior to 'Liberation Day', respondents across all regions and across all private market asset classes said that they expected to find the most investment opportunities in North America over the next two years. In contrast, State Street's research now notes, among other hypotheticals, a scenario whereby non-US countries and blocs could take steps to increase trade volumes with one another, rather than with the US. In this dynamic, State Street posits private markets investments in companies with reduced US exposure would benefit, rather than US assets. The outlook for 'quality' private market assets is therefore significantly clouded by the current environment. Further to this, State Street recognizes that economic disruption complicates the development pathway for the new retail-style private market products. On one hand, policymakers may have to prioritize other economic policy challenges over the reforms required to facilitate the development of these funds. Compounding this, if the underlying assets in retail-style products lose value for a prolonged period, individual investors may negatively associate the funds with the broader macroeconomic environment, reducing demand for the funds. On the other hand, the research says, in a period of restrictive economic conditions and fiscal tightening, governments may come to see retail flows as a way to increase funding to their domestic priorities (e.g. defence). Such a shift may prompt greater legislative and regulatory attention on the reforms needed to develop retail-style products, suggests State Street. AI integration key to the success of institutions' private markets operations As demand for private assets grows, institutions are increasingly recognising the value of Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) in enhancing their private markets operations. While in last year's survey only 58% of those surveyed said they saw the value in the technology, 83% are now planning out cases for the technology to generate analysable data out of unstructured private markets information from their operations. Correspondingly, planned technology expenditure is up for the overwhelming majority (69%) of respondents. While GPs and LPs identified a broad range of use cases for these innovations, from analysing company reports to distributions, loan agreement documents, purchase/sale documentation and sustainability information, performance analysis is where most said the technology would prove 'most useful', both at a portfolio level and for individual holdings. Around a third of respondents (34%) agreed that technology development enabling more frequent, timely and high-quality data is an essential factor in making private markets accessible to a wide range of individual investors, while 37% also called on governments and regulators to mandate private companies to give more and better data to their investors. Chris Rowland, head of Custody, Digital and Fund Services Product: 'We believe that portfolio liquidity starts with data liquidity. This year's results show that institutions are moving from hypothetical to real implementation of AI-based solutions in their private markets operations, and those at the forefront of this innovation will gain a significant advantage.'

State Street leases 2.1 lakh sq ft in Coimbatore's CHIL SEZ in major office space deal
In one of the largest office space transactions in Coimbatore in recent times, State Street Corporate Services Delhi Private Limited, a subsidiary of the Boston-based financial services giant State Street Corporation , has leased approximately 2.1 lakh square feet in Tower D of CHIL SEZ, Coimbatore. The lease has been executed with India Land Techpark Private Limited, the owner and developer of the tech park. According to data sourced from real estate analytics firm Propstack, the lease was signed as a fresh agreement starting April 1, 2025, and covers floors 1 to 4 of the building. The total chargeable area leased amounts to 210,400 square feet at a monthly rental of ₹1.05 crore, implying a rent of ₹50 per square foot. The initial lease tenure is 10 years with a lock-in period, and includes a security deposit of ₹7.4 crore. The rent escalation terms specify a 3% increase in February 2026, followed by a 5% hike every subsequent year, aligning with standard escalation practices in SEZ-grade assets across India. CHIL SEZ (Coimbatore Hi-Tech Infrastructure Limited) is among the most prominent SEZ developments in Tamil Nadu, strategically located and equipped with Grade-A infrastructure catering to IT/ITES tenants, it mentioned. 'This transaction reinforces the growing trend of global financial institutions expanding to Tier-2 cities to tap into the skilled talent pool and benefit from cost arbitrage,' said an industry expert. 'State Street's move reflects long-term confidence in Coimbatore's commercial ecosystem.' Coimbatore, traditionally known for its textile and manufacturing prowess, has in recent years emerged as a preferred back-office and technology operations destination for multinational corporations. With robust infrastructure, a growing urban workforce, and relatively low real estate costs compared to metros like Bengaluru or Chennai, the city has drawn increasing interest from firms in BFSI, IT, and analytics. The CHIL SEZ, in particular, has witnessed strong demand post-pandemic as companies adopt a hub-and-spoke real estate model. Experts say the average quoted rentals for Grade-A spaces in Coimbatore currently range between ₹40–₹55 per sq ft, depending on specifications and location, placing this deal near the higher end of the spectrum — an indication of premium quality and long-term commitment. According to market data, Coimbatore saw gross office space absorption of over 1.2 million sq ft in 2024, with BFSI and IT/ITES accounting for over 60% of the leasing activity. Analysts expect 2025 to surpass those numbers, especially with continued interest from global capability centers (GCCs). State Street Corporation is a global financial services company specializing in investment servicing, markets and financing, and investment management, primarily serving institutional investors. They have operations worldwide, including a significant presence in India, with offices in Bangalore and Mumbai. State Street's investment management arm is State Street Global Advisors (SSGA), which manages over $2.4 trillion in assets With infrastructure improvements underway and the Tamil Nadu government's thrust on IT development in tier-2 cities, industry observers expect more such large-ticket leases in the coming quarters.
