Bloomberg – Hedge-fund firms such as BlueBay Asset Management LLP and Brevan Howard Asset Management LLP are jumping on demand for liquid alternative investments, offering funds usually reserved for traditional money managers.
A Deutsche Bank AG survey of 86 hedge-fund managers, who oversee a combined $6 trillion in assets, found that 42 percent are offering the products that allow investors to withdraw funds on short notice. That’s up from 27 percent in 2013. Thirty-four percent said they would consider expanding into that space.
