Summary
Asian institutional investors and wealthy individuals are increasing their hedge fund allocations, according to a Pension Policy International report, which has been syndicated to other outlets. The publisher summary attributes the shift to a weakening role for government bonds as a reliable diversifier and to continued volatility in equity markets, pushing pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and ultra-high-net-worth earners in the region toward alternative strategies.
