50 Leading Women in Hedge Funds

In an industry that celebrates the accomplishments of alpha males, it is often overlooked how many successful women are working in key roles in hedge funds. But despite estimates that women manage only 3% of the $1.5 trillion invested in hedge funds, a growing number of entrepreneurial, innovative and accomplished women now work in a variety of roles with funds, service providers and investors. This survey of 50 Leading Women in Hedge Funds, sponsored by PricewaterhouseCoopers1, shows how women are making an increasing contribution to the industry’s development and success. The rationale for this survey is to document and recognise the valuable contribution of women, but also to use it as an example of the opportunities that are opening for more women to progress in the hedge fund industry.

Emerging hedge fund managers draw investors

The number of investors avoiding untested hedge fund managers has fallen by a quarter following the crisis, as investors increasingly look outside crowded trades for new sources of returns. A survey published this week by data provider Preqin shows that 71% of investors consider investing in emerging managers, up from 61% this time last year. Many investors have made use of the turbulence of the last 18 months to assess emerging managers.
The most widely-used form of emerging managers among institutional investors are investment teams that have spun off from other, more established, firms. Only 25% of respondents said that they would not invest in spinoffs, down from 38% last year.
