Reuters – U.S. hedge funds accounted for nearly a quarter of bond trading in the U.S. between April 2011 and April 2012, the most in five years and highlighting the greater presence of hedge funds in the U.S. bond industry, a survey released this week from consulting firm Greenwich Associates found.
Hedge funds generated 24 percent of the overall volume of fixed-income trading in the U.S. over the year period, a more than 30 percent increase from 18 percent in April 2011 and surpassing the growth in bond trading from the other managers and institutions surveyed.
