What Does Tariff Uncertainty Mean for Private Markets? Watch Matt Gibson's Interview at Milken

6 May 2025 | 7 minute read

Tariff uncertainty, inflation and interest rates are in focus among investors. At the recent Milken Institute Global Conference, Matt Gibson, head of Asset Management Client Solutions Group, joined Bloomberg to share his thoughts on what the current environment means for private market activity. 

“Alternatives investors tend to be long-term in their thinking, and allocation strategies remain largely unchanged for now. Investors are monitoring the market, and while they are hitting the brakes a little bit on deal activity, it's too soon to say there will be major allocation shifts unless uncertainty persists”

As investors navigate a dynamic environment, Matt also highlighted the growth of the secondaries market and demand for hybrid capital solutions.
