Equities: global in, domestic out We surveyed 111 institutional investors with assets under management of over $1tn to gain a better understanding of their views on asset allocation decisions to be made in the next 12 months. We found a tremendous strategic desire to move away from US equities, particularly large cap, and toward a more global mandate. Emerging market equities are the most desirable asset class over the next 12 months with 42% looking to add/increase investment. On a percentage basis, nearly as many investors (39%) seek to decrease investment in US large cap equities. This could result in $300-500bn flowing out of US large cap equities over the next 3-5 years from institutional investors.
