GHF Group Report on the Global Hedge Fund Industry 2009

The global hedge fund industry has seen exponential growth over the past decade, with hedge fund assets peaking in the summer of 2008 at nearly US$2 trillion – a seven-fold increase since the start of the decade.

George Town, Cayman Islands, September 25, 2009 --(PR.com)-- However, the drying up of liquidity, the collapse of some large financial institutions, a rise in risk aversion, shaky equity markets and the resultant spate of redemptions saw assets shrinking by nearly a third, hitting a low of US$1.1 trillion as this spring.

Currently, worldwide hedge fund assets stand at US$1.4 trillion, with the fund population just under 8.000. Despite the recent reduction in size, this marks a three-fold increase in fund population and a four-fold increase in assets since the start of 2000.
