Global Pensions – Nordic investors are continuing to show optimism in hedge funds with nearly a third planning to increase their exposure this year to strategies like global macro, event driven and long/short funds, a new report shows.
The SEB Nordic Hedge Fund Investor Survey found 32% of investors in Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway plan to increase their allocations to hedge funds while only 2% plan to decrease their exposure. Those planning to increase allocations dropped slightly from 40% in last year’s survey, but those who said they are planning to decrease their exposure going forward dropped sharply from 14%.
