Abstract

A recent survey of major fund managers revealed that the key drivers for investing in these non-traditional assets were return enhancements and risk management through diversification. With the majority of super funds using the fund of funds method of investing, the survey also found that fund managers, on average, intended to lift their allocation to hedge funds slightly, while private equity allocations were expected to remain stable.
