Reuters – Hedge funds pulled in $9.5 billion during the second quarter with nervous investors preferring to send their money to the biggest and best established managers, according to industry tracker Hedge Fund Research Inc on Tuesday.
Hedge fund managers have seen flat returns on average as they have battled a volatile market so far this year, but that hasn’t stopped wealthy investors from sinking more cash into the industry. Strategies like global macro and event-driven funds that may insulate investors from stock market swings, have been seen as particularly attractive.
