The hedge fund industry ended 2024 with $4.51 trillion in assets under management, a 9.75% increase from the previous year, research firm HFR said on Friday.<\/p>\n
Total assets increased by $401.4 billion last year, the highest amount since 2021, mainly driven by a strong performance across different strategies.<\/p>\n
The growth in hedge fund assets underscores how influential this less regulated and leveraged industry, which uses a vast array of trading strategies and assets, is in markets.<\/p>\n
It also shows that hedge funds regained a bit of traction among investors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Hedge funds’ net inflows last year totaled $10.47 billion, the first calendar year in which more money came in than out of the industry since 2021. In the last quarter, however, outflows amounted to $12.57 billion.<\/p>\n Hedge funds’ assets have grown by almost 56% since 2015, although the industry has struggled to lure new money from investors. Over the last decade, outflows surpassed inflows by $166.8 billion, showing that funds’ performance has driven the industry growth, not new money.<\/p>\n On average, hedge funds posted a 9.83% gain to investors in 2024, according to HFRI Fund Weighted Composite index, with positive results in equity, macro, event-driven and relative value strategies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Kenneth J. Heinz, president of HFR, said portfolio managers are “preparing for a wide range of market cycles, with the possibility for volatility and dislocations as investors adapt to new policies regarding interest rates\/inflation, legislation and tariffs” in 2025.<\/p>\n “Total global hedge fund industry capital rose to a fifth consecutive quarterly record as managers, institutions and investors positioned for sweeping policy changes which are likely to have significant and far-reaching implications for U.S. and global financial market structure, regulation and capital,” he added.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The hedge fund industry ended 2024 with $4.51 trillion in assets under management, a 9.75% increase from the previous year, research firm HFR said on Friday.
