"Industry research expects private markets to become a dominant revenue driver for the asset management industry by 2030, with an expansion to retail investors part of the wider shift."
"In Europe, ELTIF 2.0 remains the clearest access rail, as the revised regime removes hurdles and enables ELTIFs to be marketed to investors across the EU."
"At least 82 ELTIFs were launched in the first three quarters of 2025, compared with 55 in 2024, indicating significant growth in product activity."
"One asset class and one structure are currently doing much of the work, as managers position private debt and open-ended formats as the most scalable routes for broader distribution."
Private markets are trending towards a broader investor base, supported by regulatory frameworks. By 2030, they are expected to dominate asset management revenue. The revised ELTIF regime, effective January 2024, facilitates marketing to EU investors. In 2025, 82 ELTIFs were launched, with private debt as the leading asset class. Evergreen structures are also gaining traction. The success of new platforms will depend on the choice of asset classes and fund formats to capture growth in assets under management.
