Dear colleague,
Will hedge funds follow
the path of passive investing, just as the traditional
fund management industry did a generation ago?
That is the question on everyone's lips as new
hedge fund replication and synthetic hedge fund products
continue to be rolled out. In fact, one expert estimates
that replication strategies may account for 40%
of managed hedge fund assets next 5 years.
Investors and their consultants are closely
monitoring the latest developments and track records of
these products.
In fact, at our inaugural event in London this past
February, 26% of the audience were pension funds,
endowments, private Banks, insurers, and charities
including the Abu Dhabi Investment
Authority, Allstate Investments
LLC, San Diego County Employees
Retirement Association, Caisse De Depot
Et Placement Du Quebec, Ontario
Teachers' Pension Plan, BBC
Pensions, PGGM Pension Fund,
The World Bank Pension Fund, and
Universities Superannuation
Scheme.
