Omnigence Publishes New Insight on Concentration Risk in Private Markets

CALGARY, AB, CANADA, February 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Omnigence Asset Management has published a new whitepaper examining how the growing concentration of institutional capital among large alternative asset managers is reshaping risk and diversification in private markets.

Titled The Mega-Manager Paradox, the paper explores how scale, while offering operational efficiency and familiarity, can also contribute to higher correlation, reduced flexibility, and compressed returns across institutional portfolios. It highlights how capital concentration may leave under-financialized market segments overlooked, despite their potential to provide differentiated exposure.

The paper does not argue against the role of large platforms but suggests that concentration itself should be considered a form of portfolio risk. It outlines how a more balanced approach to manager selection may support long-term portfolio resilience.
