(Opalesque) Preqin’s surveys of hedge fund investors find that many report increasing difficulty in finding attractive funds in which to invest. Almost half of investors said in June* that they were planning to reduce their allocations to hedge funds over the next 12 months. Of these, 38% said that three-year performance was the driving factor behind the decision, while a further 16% said their outlook on future performance was negative. When looking to make new fund commitments, investors are faced with a wide dispersion of returns within and between different leading hedge fund strategies. With almost 15,000 hedge funds currently open to investment worldwide, this poses a significant challenge to investors seeking to expand or modify their hedge fund portfolios.
