Dealmakers Signal Optimism Amid Tech-Driven Transformation
Ipsos surveyed dealmakers across 9 markets for the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP). The outlook for 2026 is broadly positive, with technological change and private markets seen as key drivers of opportunity. While macroeconomic and regulatory conditions are viewed favorably, geopolitical risks remain a concern. Despite optimism, investors cite financial market volatility, macroeconomic pressures, and geopolitical instability as their top challenges. AI integration continues to be a priority, focused on improving investment decisions, data analytics, and productivity. Opportunities in the energy transition are also widely recognized, reinforcing the importance of sustainability strategies.
