ValueWalk – Asia-Pacific has been a growing region in the hedge fund industry in recent years as both investors and managers have realized the potential of this emerging region for alternative investments. However, the industry in the region has still yet to reach the share of wealth contributed by the wider economy in Asia-Pacific, meaning that there remains the potential for substantial growth in the future.
Asia-Pacific-based firms represent approximately 13% of all hedge fund managers tracked by Preqin, but these firms represent less than 4% of total industry capital, largely due to the fact that funds within Asia-Pacific are both newer and smaller than those in the established regions of North America and Europe.
