State Street Corporation, the world’s leading provider of financial services to institutional investors, released a report on hedge funds as part of its series of proprietary reports designed to advance the dialogue around key themes and trends within the financial services industry.
The new Vision paper on hedge funds offers a comprehensive overview of the impact of rising institutional allocations to alternative investment vehicles and the implications of this trend for institutions and the hedge fund industry going forward. State Street’s report provides insightful explanations of hedge fund investing trends and techniques, as well as an in-depth analysis of the evolution of risk management, new developments in the pursuit of alpha, and a global review of hedge fund regulation.
"As part of the ongoing series designed to provide the industry with timely insights, this Vision paper responds to a need for greater understanding of all aspects of hedge fund investing," said Jay Hooley, vice chairman of State Street. "Given the results of our third institutional hedge fund study released last month, it is evident that institutional hedge fund investing is becoming less ‘alternative.’ We hope this new report will help industry professionals enhance their knowledge of hedge funds and navigate the risk and opportunities available in these important investment products."
The report draws on State Street’s extensive insights from across the company to bring a unique insight into the hedge fund industry.
State Street Global Advisors, State Street’s investment management arm, has two decades of absolute return investment expertise and offers an array of strategies focused on generating alpha.
Through its acquisition of International Fund Services (IFS) in 2002, State Street significantly expanded its global hedge fund servicing capabilities and now administers more than $200 billion in hedge fund assets from servicing centers in New York, Dublin, Luxembourg and Toronto.
