Hedge fund returns have been mixed, with some strategies struggling while others have racked up bumper returns, resulting in wide performance dispersion across the industry. While some fund strategies have experienced a challenging start to the year, others have thrived.
“Despite these challenges and the threat of more still to come, the industry’s global confidence score for Q1 reflects the fact that hedge funds are reinforcing their value proposition of offering investors financial security and uncorrelated returns during uncertain times,” writes AIMA.
Global macro (+19) and multi-strategy (+18) strategies reported the highest confidence scores in AIMA’s latest Hedge Fund Confidence Index poll and both are currently among those strategies most appealing to investors looking to make hedge fund allocations.
