Report Highlights
39% of European wealth managers see regulatory difficulties as the major barrier to hedge fund investment in the European market. However the increasing popularity of hedge fund investments has forced regulators to review this situation and legislative changes are occurring in many European territories.
Some wealth managers believe that should a period of sustained equity growth reoccur, the hedge fund market would decline. However hedge fund investment has wider motivations. 70% of wealth managers see increasing diversification or the ability to gain an absolute return as the primary reason for investing in hedge funds.
