The Future Ain't What It Used to Be for These Funds
With their words, the managers of private assets are telling investors that the best is yet to come. With their actions, they're suggesting the glory days already may be ending. Giant firms like Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Capital Group, KKR, State Street and Vanguard Group are all rushing to get individual investors to buy 'alternatives,' including hedge funds, venture capital, and nontraded debt, equity and real estate.

Citi to sell wealth alternatives unit to fintech firm iCapital
Wall Street heavyweight Citigroup has agreed to sell its wealth alternatives unit to fintech firm iCapital, the companies announced on Tuesday, as the bank pursues simplifying its business. The unit, Citi Global Alternatives, represents more than 180 funds distributed by the bank across asset classes including private equity, infrastructure, hedge funds, and private credit. New York-based iCapital will manage and operate the platform, while Citi will remain the distributor for the funds and offer guidance to clients on the role of alternative investments. "We are excited to partner with Citi Wealth to drive growth for their alternatives business globally. iCapital's technology platform will streamline the operations and management of their current and future alternative investment funds platform," iCapital CEO Lawrence Calcano said. The firm will also assist Citi Wealth's global sales capabilities with a dedicated team to support the growth of the bank's alternatives platform. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Citi recently revamped its wealth management arm - a key step in CEO Jane Fraser's growth strategy - as part of its broader overhaul to simplify the bank's sprawling structure.

Global PFAS Market Forecast 2025-2035: Trends in Alternatives and Treatment Technologies
DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2025-- The 'Global Market for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), PFAS Alternatives and PFAS Treatment 2025-2035" report has been added to offering. PFAS materials remain crucial in various industries including semiconductors, textiles, food packaging, electronics, and automotive sectors, with applications ranging from water-repellent coatings to high-performance materials for critical technologies. Market dynamics are heavily influenced by regional regulatory frameworks, particularly in Europe and North America, where stringent regulations are accelerating the transition away from traditional PFAS. The semiconductor industry represents a critical use case, where PFAS remains essential for advanced manufacturing processes, though efforts are underway to develop alternatives. Similarly, the automotive and electronics sectors continue to rely on PFAS for specific applications while actively pursuing substitutes. The PFAS alternatives market is experiencing rapid growth, with innovative solutions emerging across multiple sectors. These include silicon-based materials, hydrocarbon technologies, bio-based alternatives, and novel polymer systems. The textiles and food packaging industries are leading the transition to PFAS-free alternatives, driven by consumer awareness and regulatory requirements. However, technical performance gaps and cost considerations remain significant challenges in many applications. PFAS treatment and remediation technologies represent a growing market segment, driven by the need to address environmental contamination. Current technologies include advanced oxidation processes, membrane filtration, adsorption systems, and emerging destruction technologies. The water treatment sector, in particular, is seeing significant investment in PFAS removal technologies. Looking toward 2035, the market is expected to undergo substantial changes. Traditional PFAS usage is projected to decline significantly in non-essential applications, while the alternatives market is forecast to experience robust growth. Critical industries like semiconductors and medical devices may retain specific PFAS applications where alternatives are not yet viable, but with enhanced controls and containment measures. The treatment technologies market is expected to expand considerably, driven by stricter environmental regulations and growing remediation requirements. Innovation in treatment methods, particularly in destruction technologies and bio-friendly approaches, is likely to accelerate, leading to more cost-effective and efficient solutions. Key challenges for the industry include developing alternatives that match PFAS performance in critical applications, managing transition costs, and ensuring effective treatment solutions. The market outlook varies significantly by region and application, with developed markets leading the transition to alternatives while emerging markets may continue PFAS use in certain applications. Success in this evolving market will depend on technological innovation, regulatory compliance capabilities, and the ability to balance performance requirements with environmental considerations. Companies that can effectively navigate these challenges while developing sustainable solutions are likely to capture significant market opportunities in both alternatives and treatment technologies. The industry's future will be shaped by continued regulatory evolution, technological advancement, and growing emphasis on sustainable solutions, leading to a transformed market landscape by 2035 characterized by reduced PFAS usage, widespread adoption of alternatives, and advanced treatment capabilities. The Global Market for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), PFAS Alternatives and PFAS Treatment 2025-2035 provides an in-depth analysis of the global PFAS sector, including detailed examination of emerging PFAS alternatives and treatment technologies. The study offers strategic insights into market trends, regulatory impacts, and technological developments shaping the industry through 2035.
