In the week ending 06 March, 2015, a study by Deutsche Bank showed that institutional investor are looking to work with larger fund managers who can meet their comprehensive requirements; the Credit Suisse annual hedge fund survey showed that institutional investors are more optimistic than last year on their allocation plan.

Meanwhile J.P. Morgan’s Capital Introduction annual Investor Survey claimed that institutional money managers “have moved down the assets under management spectrum,” as a wide majority, 75 percent, expressed a willingness to invest in a hedge fund with $100 million or less. But it wasn’t just crossing the magic $100 million line in assets under management that occurred. Institutional managers in the study expressed a willingness to consider managers with under one year in experience.

The $430bn Korean’s National Pension Service (NPS) has approved hedge fund allocation after studying the asset class for eight years; larger institutions, like pension funds and endowments, have been embracing index funds; institutional investors are set to increase their allocations to investment strategies which fall into the ‘liquid alternatives’ classification; and Taiwan’s Bureau of Labour Funds is seeking managers for a total of $2.4bn in global alternative asset strategies.
