Ernst & Young (EY) recently released the results of its tenth annual Global Hedge Fund and Investor Survey, which explored – among other things – industry risks, investor allocation preferences, management fee pressures, manager growth strategies, product customization and trends in non-traditional products. This first article in a two-part series summarizes the survey’s findings in these areas. The second article will detail the survey’s results with respect to marketing, operational efficiency, prime brokerage and talent management.
