In this episode of The Long-Short, Tom Kehoe is joined by Hedgeweek’s Manas Singh to discuss the latest Hedgeweek and AIMA allocator sentiment report and how investors are responding to a more fragmented market. Together, they look at why allocators are increasing their hedge fund exposure, with diversification, downside protection and uncorrelated returns high on the agenda, and why multi-strategy, long-short and macro strategies are proving particularly attractive. They also discuss changing attitudes to fees, continued confidence in private credit and the growing preference for specialist managers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
