Cash, infrastructure and emerging markets gain ground as large asset owners seek to manage volatility spikes, according to Marsh
Marsh released its 2026 Global Asset Owner Barometer, based on research covering asset owners with US$5.76 trillion under management. The report shows many large asset owners are shifting their portfolios toward cash, infrastructure, and emerging markets in response to geopolitical uncertainty, persistent inflation, and rising AI-related capital spending.
Why it matters — The findings highlight how Marsh's research capabilities and advisory services are gaining visibility among major institutional investors amid market volatility, reinforcing the firm's relevance in asset-owner consulting.
