Bloomberg – Asian hedge funds are set to outperform the world in 2012, gaining for the fourth straight month in November as the U.S. Federal Reserve’s low-rate policies boosted credit and stock investments.
Top performers in 2012 include Income Partners Asset Management (HK) Ltd.’s Asian Credit Hedge Fund, GCI Japan Hybrids and Algebris Coco Credit Fund. The Eurekahedge Asian Hedge Fund Index returned 5.8 percent this year through November, outperforming the 4.5 percent return by the index tracking global hedge funds, according to a preliminary report by Eurekahedge Pte, a Singapore-based data provider.
