Private Markets 360° | Episode 48: Unpacking the State of the Market with Aviva Investors

In this episode of Private Markets 360°, we welcome David Hedalen, Head of Private Markets Strategy & Research at Aviva Investors. David discusses how his team approaches research across the private markets landscape, using proprietary and third-party data to inform investment decisions, portfolio construction, and regional views, with a focus on European markets. He explores Aviva’s “insurance-backed buy-and-maintain” strategy for private debt, the growing importance of transparency for investors, and key findings from Aviva’s private markets survey of 500 institutional investors. David also examines the rise of evergreen funds for DC investors and how infrastructure is evolving as it increasingly overlaps with real estate.
