West Palm Beach (HedgeCo.Net)- According to Alpha Magazine’s list of the region’s biggest single-manager hedge funds, investors are rushing into China to capitalize on the country’s soaring equity market, and Asia’s native hedge funds are cashing in on the action.<\/p>\n
Tokyo-based Sparx Group Co. topped the ranking for the second year in a row. Sparx, one of Japan’s first money managers to get into hedged investing, now manages $6.7 billion. The next two firms, Hong Kong-based Value Partners and Singapore’s Arisaig Partners, make their debut on the Asia Hedge Fund 25, managing $4.8 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively.<\/p>\n
Despite their domination in the 2006 Asia 25 ranking, Japanese firms clearly take a back seat to China-based firms this year. A year ago four of the top ten firms were headquartered in Japan and accounted for one-third of the total assets managed by the Asia 25. his year, weakened by poor Japanese equities performance, only two of the top ten firms are Japanese.<\/p>\n
China’s equity market picks up where Japan’s leaves off; the MSCI China index returned 78.7 percent in 2006, spurring the growth of China-focused funds under firms like Value Partners and Arisaig Partners.<\/p>\n
