Abstract: This EIF Equity Barometer Survey issue shows that in Q2 2026, market perceptions rebounded after the Q1 setback. All sentiment indicators improved, with several returning to - or exceeding - the levels recorded at the end of 2025. Expectations also strengthened across all surveyed dimensions. However, fundraising remains difficult, exits are still fragile and geopolitical uncertainty continues to weigh on the market. The results therefore point to a recovery in sentiment, but one whose resilience and breadth will be tested in the coming quarters. This edition of the EIF Equity Barometer also zooms in AI investing, identifying key opportunities but also some of the greatest investors' concerns.
