Investment Manager Research Roundtable 2026

In this roundtable discussion, NEPC’s investment manager research team shares perspectives on current market conditions, trends in investment management, and strategic priorities for 2026. From their deep experience and knowledge, they offer insights into their approach for evaluating a manager’s investment track record and proactive strategy for re-evaluating underperformance that may be outside the range of expected outcomes.

Later they unpack the signal from the noise and discuss what they see on the ground with investment managers and the allocation of capital, including the growth of private wealth and its impact on investment strategies. Seeing the risks on the investment horizon, they provide guidance on how to approach 2026.
