Absolute Return and Hedge Strategies
This table shows the forward-looking intentions of European fund selectors and asset allocators towards absolute return.
Absolute return remains consistently one of the most sought-after investment classes.
The number of those looking to sell is close to zero, while close to 50% of European fund selectors are looking to buy more.

These tables show the forward-looking intentions of European fund selectors and asset allocators towards the four most popular hedge strategies.
All the hedge strategies are net positive, but the most popular by far is long/short equity, which has been rising in popularity for a year.

Multi-strategy hedge is the second most popular with a strong demand and few sellers.

Long/short debt and global macro funds are at the bottom of the hedge league – but that’s still not bad: they both show around a fifth of all respondents saying they want to buy more.
