(Bloomberg) Investors may double their allocations to Asia’s hedge funds over the next five years as they look for ways to navigate volatile markets and the region’s managers beat peers in the U.S. and Europe, according to Pacific Alternative Asset Management Co.
Pension funds and sovereign wealth funds have as much as 10 percent of their hedge-fund investments in Asian vehicles, said David Walter, Singapore-based head of research for Asia at the $11 billion fund-of-hedge-funds, known as Paamco.
