Reuters – Hedge funds investing in developing Asia have begun to attract money from investors after a poor first half of 2010 when many were hurt by outflows despite strong interest in emerging markets, industry players said.

But they took out about $1.6 billion from Asia ex-Japan themed hedge funds between January and July, according to data from Eurekahedge.
