The Hedge Funds Weblog

A white paper released today by SEI, titled "Five Critical Challenges for Hedge Funds Taking Aim at the Institutional Market", details the growing institutional acceptance of hedge Fund Investing.

Forty-seven percent of the institutions surveyed said they already invest in hedge funds. Within that group, 73% of pension plans and 55% of institutions overall said they had increased hedge fund allocations over the last several years. Portfolio allocations to hedge funds averaged 30% for endowments, 13% for pension funds, and 24% for institutions.

The paper is based partly on a survey of more than 100 institutional investors by SEI and the research firm of Infovest21.
