Introduction

Hedge funds offer fund managers the potential to utilize the full range of investment techniques in order to gain growth and income for their clients. This report analyses the market for hedge funds in Europe, which has seen rapid development in recent years due to regulatory change. It covers market sizing and forecasts, investment strategies, regulations and customer groups.

Scope
  • Provides detailed information on the hedge fund markets in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and the UK
  • Sizes the hedge fund market by country by assets under management, and the top European competitors and investment strategies
  • Gives comprehensive analysis of regulatory and distributory developments occurring the European hedge fund industry
  • Uses primary data from Datamonitor's European Alternative Investment Survey 2005 covering 94 asset managers in Europe.
Highlights

The market for hedge funds in Europe is developing into a sophisticated and profitable industry. Estimate assets held by investors in France, Italy, Germany, Spain and the UK in 2005 totalled almost £110bn; an increase of £20bn (22%) from 2004.

Competition within the industry is strong but volatile, and the larger fund management firms experienced a slow year in 2005. Competitors rapidly come under pressure if their performance declines, and 2005 saw several high-profile crashes.

Regulation across Europe varies widely and has enormous influence over domestic hedge fund markets. Some key EU legislation is affecting the hedge fund industry, and there is a move towards a pan-European set of regulations which if passed will ease the transfer of funds and benefit the industry.

Reasons to Purchase
  • Obtain a unique picture of the hedge fund industry in Europe based on the views of Europe's premier asset managers.
  • Understand the complex regulatory issues impacting the industry, and how these will affect the development of domestic and pan-European markets.
  • Ascertain the strategic options for developing a hedge fund offering, including information on distribution, target markets, and competition.
