iCapital's "2026 Asia Advisor Survey," released today by the fintech company, reveals a sharp decline in Asian investors' interest in private credit, dropping from 71% in 2025 to 48%, while interest in real estate surged from 39% to 52%, as global tensions shook market confidence. The report attributes this shift towards real assets to increased focus on inflation resilience and tangible assets due to geopolitical disruptions and energy security concerns. Furthermore, interest in venture capital also saw a significant increase to 39%, consistent with Asia's strong capital market backdrop in 2026, particularly the performance of AI-related portfolio companies.
