Asian investors raise hedge fund allocations as bonds lose appeal

Reuters reports, via Hedgeweek and HedgeCo.Net, that Asian institutional investors, pensions, family offices and private wealth clients are increasing hedge fund allocations as bonds falter as diversifiers. Hedgeweek states UBP's Asia-based hedge-fund-only mandates have more than tripled since the end of 2024, and that global hedge fund assets reached $5.6tn in Q2 2026 after a record quarterly increase of $409bn, per HFR.
