Reuters – Assets raised by new hedge funds in Asia surged nearly 50 percent to $3.84 billion in 2010 from a year earlier, yet another sign that investor interest in regional funds has been on the mend since a tough 2008.
The number of fund launches increased to 95 last year from 78 in 2009 while the average launch size rose to $40 million from $33 million, according to a survey by AsiaHedge.
