APAC Hedge Fund Assets Down Nearly One-Fifth in Two Years

APAC Hedge Fund Assets Down Nearly One-Fifth in Two Years


Asia-Pacific hedge fund launch activity last year declined to its lowest level since the global financial crisis.

The number of hedge fund launches in Asia-Pacific, tracked by With Intelligence, fell to 39 in 2023. The region was managing $1.9bn by year-end, below a prior low set in 2009, one year after the global financial crisis.

However, multi-strategy and fixed income/credit funds saw percentage asset increases last year, up by one-third and one-quarter respectively.

Equity fund AuM, on the other hand, which represents nearly two-thirds of the region’s assets, has declined by a quarter since the end of 2021, as persistent outflows and performance losses, chiefly among China focused funds, have taken their toll.

There are signs of recovery in China, though. Q2 saw the first positive performance of Greater China’s long/short equity funds in over a year. Since 2022, these funds have struggled to generate alpha since the onset of China’s Zero Covid policy and a regulatory crackdown in areas such as tech.

If interested to allocate, I manage a fundamental, discretionary strategy focused mostly on value equities and events, the result is relatively systematic because of a very diversified and active trading
