Industry trends and challenges

Growing strategic importance

Hedge funds have evolved from niche alternatives to core anchors in institutional and wealth portfolios. Their role as volatility harvesters and providers of uncorrelated returns is increasingly recognized amid heightened macroeconomic volatility and dislocated monetary regimes.

Performance and strategy shifts

Macro and event-driven strategies have delivered strong returns in 2025, while equity long/short strategies face challenges amid AI-driven market dispersion.

Regulatory and liquidity pressures

Increasing regulation and liquidity demands shape fund structures, compelling hedge funds to innovate with flexible redemption schedules and liquid alternatives. The sector faces intensified scrutiny on risk and systemic concentration from mega-platforms.
