Deutsche Bank today released its 13th annual Alternative Investment Survey, one of the industry’s largest and longest standing hedge fund investor surveys. This year, 435 hedge fund investors, representing over USD 1.8 trillion in hedge fund assets under management (AUM), shared insights into their sentiment and allocation plans for 2015.
“As institutional investors’ needs continue to evolve, they are increasingly looking to work with larger hedge fund managers and intermediaries who can meet their appetite for comprehensive portfolio solutions,” said Barry Bausano, Co-head of Global Prime Finance at Deutsche Bank. “More and more, we’re seeing today’s hedge fund assets concentrated among the largest managers.”
“Hedge fund managers who continue to focus on alignment of interests with the allocator community will have an increasingly competitive advantage as our industry grows and evolves,” said Murray Roos, Co-head of Global Prime Finance at Deutsche Bank. “Reward for alpha generation and co-investment opportunities will be key factors in building strong partnerships between limited partnerships and general partnerships.”
Highlights of Deutsche Bank’s 13th annual Alternative Investment Survey:
Hedge fund industry assets set to surpass USD 3 trillion
Asset growth continues to be concentrated among the largest managers
Accessing skilled managers is ever more critical
Investors are looking for steady and predictable risk-adjusted returns
Quantitative strategies are gaining in popularity
Investors see increasing opportunity in Asia

Conducted by Deutsche Bank’s Global Prime Finance business, the survey identifies trends amongst a growing and evolving hedge fund investor base.
