Global hedge fund assets are on the rise, potentially up to $2.25 trillion by the end of 2011.  According to Deutsche Bank AG, an additional $210 billion is expected in new monies too.  But the question remains, how trustworthy is data from the bank?  According to an article in Reuters, finance experts remain suspicious of the bank.  "’How long are you staying? What do you know about U.S. markets?’ Michele Faissola, who runs the firm's interest-rates and commodities units, says he has been asked by skeptical trading clients being wooed by Deutsche Bank. ‘Many investors in the U.S. have a high barrier to switching.’"  

Hedge Fund Interest On the Up

It seems that despite the global economic climate, hedge fund assets are nonetheless increasing.  According to Chicago-based analytical team Hedge Fund Research “the loosely regulated industry oversaw $1.92 trillion in assets at the end of 2010.”  Figures are approximately four times from last year, so this shows that despite reservations those may have about the credibility of Deutsche Bank.
