Hedge funds welcome the fastest influx of funds in ten years, investors seek returns amid turbulence.

Investors are pouring money into hedge funds at the fastest pace in a decade, betting that volatile markets will bring them excess returns. According to data from Hedge Fund Research, net inflows into hedge funds totaled around $25 billion in the three months ending in June, bringing the total net inflows for the first half of the year to over $37 billion, the highest level since 2015. After a long period of underperformance, global investors' interest in hedge fund strategies seems to be rebounding this year. According to Citco data, hedge funds have achieved positive returns for 11 consecutive quarters, and their resilience in volatile markets is seen as a key attraction for new investors. Demand remains strong for large multi-strategy hedge funds such as Millennium Management and Citadel Investments, and many of these companies have closed their doors to new investors.
