BusinessWeek – Hedge funds globally may attract $222 billion of fresh capital this year, according to a survey by Deutsche Bank AG, marking the first annual net inflow since the global financial crisis hit in 2007.
That will increase hedge fund assets to $1.72 trillion, the annual survey from the German bank shows. Chicago-based data provider Hedge Fund Research Inc. estimated industry assets at $1.6 trillion by December after investors pulled out $131 billion of capital in 2009.
