London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/05/2021 -- A new report by HFM and the Alternative Investment Managers Association indicates that there is an increasing enthusiasm for hedge fund investment. In fact, around a third of investors are going to increase the investments they make in hedge funds during the second half of 2021. This may well be due to the fact that 80% of investors said that the hedge fund investments that they had already made had performed well during the first half of the year. In addition to those investors who are set to increase their allocation to hedge funds there is also a further 51% intending to maintain the allocation that they currently have. On top of a strong performance in the first half of the year the other key reason for increasing investment in hedge funds was the existence of new opportunities within the asset class. Strong return expectations also provided significant motivation.
