WEST PALM BEACH, FL (HEDGECO.NET) – A new joint survey conducted by Reuters and LJH Global investments shows that more intuitional investors are devoting more investment assets into hedge fundstrategies. The study also said new types of institutions are also investing in hedge funds as well. One of such new institution is managed accounts, according to Mr. James Hedges, the president ofLJH Global Investment, a Florida based asset manager.
Mr. Hedges said that investment data compiled for a number of year�s shows that hedge fund investments for Managed accounts is continuing to grow from year to year. He said, �We are convinced that there are new types of market interest.�
According to Mr. Hedges, there is increasing interest from hedge fund investors in commodity futures instruments; it is unclear if commodity trading advisors would be able to handle such new assets.
Pension funds have strict fiduciary responsibility to their investors, and as such they put a great deal of emphasis on hedge funds� transparency and disclosure to the funds investors, such demand has been met for the most part as many hedge funds now provide a great deal of transparency to its investors. Meeting such criteria has helped hedge funds to increasingly gain the trust of mainstream pension and endowment managers, who have increasingly devoted more assets to hedge fund managers.
According to the new survey, multi-arbitrage funds have gained assets more than other strategies lately, followed by long/short strategies. Mr. Hedges also explained that hedge funds trading with computer models have received less asset inflow when compared to others, such problem may be due to capacity constraints, but Global macro strategies don�t seem to experience such constraint problems he added.
