Bloomberg – In a punishing year for global hedge funds, those investing in Asiaare the survivors.
Stung by poor returns and large redemptions, 889 hedge funds worldwide shut in the first 11 months of the year, above the annual average of 810 in the five years since the global financial crisis of 2008, according to figures from research firm Eurekahedge Pte. In contrast, 56 Asia-focused funds had closed by the end of November, less than half the average 135 closures in the previous five years.
