Despite a worsening economy, inflation, and the threat of deflation, allocators are expecting robust returns for 2023.
In a report released by Natixis on Wednesday, 77 percent of the 500 allocators surveyed said they would either maintain or raise their current average return assumption of 7.9 percent. Firms focused on fixed-income strategies were especially optimistic, with 46 percent of insurers planning to increase their projections from an average of 6.7 percent.
