## Resource

Hedge funds delivered in 2025 and investors are happy but aren’t exactly throwing more money on the table. In this episode of The Long-Short, Tom Kehoe is joined by Hedgeweek’s Manas Singh to unpack the latest AIMA research on why investors still prize hedge funds for uncorrelated returns and capital preservation yet remain cautious on increasing allocations or backing new managers. They break down demand by strategy, the growing pull of private credit, and why fee pressure is still front and centre.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
