The study found that technological advancements, private market conditions, and macroeconomic factors were viewed optimistically, while geopolitical and regulatory environments were seen as less favorable, though not significantly so. Despite general optimism, investors are most concerned about financial market volatility, macroeconomic factors, and geopolitical instability.  AI integration is a high priority, with the top areas of focus being improved investment decisions, data analysis, and enhanced productivity.
