Positioning for 2026 and beyond
What do today’s dynamic markets offer long-term investors? How can they reconcile complex structural shifts with the latest innovations in asset classes and portfolio construction?
To help answer these questions, Nuveen recently gathered leading experts, policymakers, practitioners and investors at our annual alternatives event, nPOWERED: Where alternatives and the future meet. We summarize the main trends that are shaping capital allocation strategies in 2026 and beyond.
Key considerations for 2026 are:
- The acceleration of AI and digital infrastructure investing
- The convergence and complexity of public and private markets
- The tail risks of geopolitics, fiscal imbalances and demographics
- The integration of the energy transition and sustainability in portfolios
