Komfie Manalo, Opalesque Asia:

As institutional investors’ needs continue to evolve, they are increasingly looking to work with larger hedge fund managers and intermediaries who can meet their appetite for comprehensive portfolio solutions, said Barry Bausano, co-head of Global Prime Finance at Deutsche Bank.

He added, "More and more, we’re seeing today’s hedge fund assets concentrated among the largest managers."

In its 13th annual Alternative Investment Survey, Deutsche Bank surveyed 435 hedge fund investors, representing over $1.8tln in hedge fund assets under management (AUM).

39% of surveyed investors to increase hedge fund allocations

"Hedge fund managers who continue to focus on alignment of interests with the allocator community will have an increasingly competitive advantage as our industry grows and evolves," said Murray Roos, co-head of Global Prime Finance at Deutsche Bank. "Reward for alpha generation and co-investment opportunities will be key factors in building strong partnerships between limited partnerships and general partnerships."

The survey also found that the hedge fund industry is set to surpass $3tln by year end 2015, growing a further 7%. Institutional investment in hedge funds is set to increase, with 39% of these investors planning to increase their allocation to hedge funds in 2015.
