What happened
Asian investors, including pensions and family offices, are increasingly seeking asset diversification away from their usual allocations to equities and bonds. Global hedge fund assets grew by $409 billion to $5.6 trillion in the second quarter of 2026. This trend is putting pressure on traditional long-only managers whose performance has been scrutinized due to market volatility.
