Laxman Pai, Opalesque Asia: Switzerland houses the fourth-largest alternative assets industry within Europe, Preqin said in its market report.
The hedge fund market represents the largest alternatives industry within Switzerland (25bn), followed by private equity & venture capital (14bn) and infrastructure (12bn).
Switzerland's market is important in that it houses many key players in alternatives and attracts significant investor capital, and less so for its deal-making activity.
Geneva is home to three of the five largest single manager hedge funds located in Switzerland. These include the country's largest manager, Pictet Asset Management, which operates 8bn in AUM (as of March 2018).
