Absolute Return Study: Institutional investors’ appetite for liquid alternatives remains undiminished

Alternatives strategies outperform hedge funds and equities in 2018

Institutional investors are continuing to build positions in liquid alternatives. The volume of institutional share classes in absolute return and alternative UCITS funds approved for distribution in Germany continued to buck the overall trend in 2018 by increasing from EUR 103.7 billion to over EUR 105.3 billion, equivalent to almost 43 per cent of the total volume. Ten years ago, institutional investors accounted for just one in every four euros. By contrast, total assets under management across all share classes have fallen from EUR 261 billion to EUR 246 billion - the first decline in a decade after a very strong 2017 (up 30 per cent).
