Benedicte Gravrand, Geneva: Why should you invest in a FoHFs? What are the recent developments in the FoHFs space? What makes a fund of hedge funds successful? These topics are explored in our Monday series on FoFs.

Sail Advisors is one of Asia’s largest FoHFs managers, based in Hong Kong, with $2.3 bln under management. Eliza Lau, Sail’s CEO, explained to Opalesque one should invest in the Asian hedge fund arena through FoHFs.

Asia`s strength on fundamental and macro levels “Growth in Asia is very strong both on the fundamental level and on the macro level. The macro side looks very healthy. Also currency is on the rise given that the demand coming to Asia is so strong. The fundamental and the macro fronts certainly justify why one should invest in Asia.
