Close to half — 44% — of hedge fund managers intend to launch a new hedge fund in 2016, said the results of a joint survey from PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Alternative Investment Management Association that was released Monday.
About one-third of U.S.-domiciled managers and 50% of U.K.-based managers said they will introduce a new liquid alternatives fund next year in response to the “Global Hedge Fund Distribution Survey” which was conducted in mid-2015.
Globally, 61% of managers said assets had risen in their hedge funds in 2015 and 80% of managers said assets under management in their liquid alternative funds had increased.
