Panel Description

To pension funds and other institutional investors overseas, the United States looks like a very different place than it did just a short while ago. Whole new areas of uncertainty have emerged that raise the apparent risk of investing in opportunities here. And yet uncertainty has risen globally, and risk is often a relative measure when deciding where to invest dry powder. What do investors from Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Canada think about opportunities in the United States today? How have recent events changed investment decisions? How can US-based allocators and operators best position themselves to work with foreign investors?
