Business24-7 – Stability, and not necessarily an upward move by economies, would be enough to attract investors back to alternative investments such as hedge funds, says Dr Frank Gerhard of Barclays Capital.
The crisis has made investors focus more on due diligence and, at the same time, turned attention back to fundamentals and to issues such as the integrity of managers. "Those managers are going to benefit going forward if they address structural issues of leverage, transparency and uncertainty around liquidity," said Gerhard, the company’s Director and Head of Product Strategy for Fund-Linked Derivatives.
