About 70 percent of institutional investors are “somewhat concerned” that a 20 percent correction in the U.S. stock market could come within the next two years.

Almost 60 percent of those polled say the S&P 500 Index will underperform its 20-year annual average return in 2018, and half say the current market cycle is approaching its end, according to a survey released Tuesday by money manager Commonfund. The survey was conducted in mid-March and included 200 institutional investors from endowments, foundations and public pensions.
