Hedge fund managers around the world have overwhelmingly indicated their confidence for continued growth despite the current market volatility and the ongoing Covid pandemic.
A recent study by the Alternative Investment Management Association’s (AIMA) Global Hedge Fund Confidence Index, 99% of managers believe that their prospects will continue to grow and show increased second-quarter results.
Geography had little effect on these findings: managers in EMEA, the UK, and the Asia Pacific all showed confidence. Only U.S. based managers showed slight hesitation because of Delta variant concerns, but they all viewed it as a “temporary setback with travel expected to recover strongly”.
