The alternative-asset industry has entered a more complicated phase. Despite reporting earnings that exceeded expectations, shares of leading firms fell sharply, reflecting growing investor skepticism.

Together, these developments point to an industry facing tougher tests as the once-celebrated narrative begins to lose momentum.
