Union Investment's Hörsch says German allocator sentiment toward hedge funds is shifting
Union Investment's Jonas Hörsch says sentiment toward German hedge funds is shifting, with allocators warming to the industry and top talent emerging locally, according to Hedgeweek. BAI data cited in the post shows the share of investors allocating to hedge funds rose from 15% last year to 21% this year, with 38% planning to increase allocations against 5% looking to reduce them. Hörsch attributes some of the prior reluctance to a culture of risk aversion in Germany.
