Opalesque Industry Update - The global hedge fund industry has seen a $76bn net inflow of assets through the first half of 2015, bringing the size
of the industry to $3.22tn. The second quarter saw the greater amount of inflows from investors, with $48bn in Q2
compared to $29bn in first quarter. Single-manager hedge funds specifically saw net inflows of $52bn in Q2, three
times as much as the $18bn net inflow of assets they recorded in the first quarter. CTAs, on the other hand, had a net

Comment: “Despite recent Preqin research indicating that investors are growing impatient with the returns of hedge funds, the industry has continued to accumulate assets in the first half of the year. Hedge funds now manage over $3.2tn in assets, amassing net inflows of more than $76bn in the first six months of 2015. The largest funds continue to see the highest inflows, with approximately 60% of funds with more than $500mn in assets gaining net inflows in Q2 2015. The growth of the hedge fund sector highlights the continued need for these products by institutional investors, despite any short-term concerns around performance and fees. In light of recent equity market turbulence, the ability of hedge funds to provide consistent and non-correlated returns may prove even more valuable to investors in the second half of the year and we could see continued inflows over the rest of 2015.” Amy Bensted – Head of Hedge Fund Products, Preqin Press release: Article source - Opalesque is not responsible for the content of external internet sites |
