Opalesque Industry Update - Credit Suisse today announced the results of its mid-year Hedge Fund Investor Sentiment Survey, which polled over 200 global institutional investors representing almost USD 700 billion in hedge fund investments. Participants were surveyed on their hedge fund activities during the first half of the year as well as strategy appetite and allocation plans for the second half of the year. This survey follows Credit Suisse's Annual Global Investor Sentiment Survey that was conducted in January 2016. Key highlights from the survey included:
Robert Leonard, Managing Director and Global Head of Capital Services at Credit Suisse commented: "Despite some outflows from the hedge fund industry this year, most institutional investors appear to be staying the course and intend to recycle the vast majority of capital back into other hedge funds.

"It is notable that while some investors expect to make additional redemptions in the second half of this year, almost three quarters indicated that they will also likely be making new allocations to hedge funds during that time as well. This confirms institutional investors continue to see a role for hedge funds in their portfolios." Other findings from the survey included:
