The European Hedge Scenario

We’ve heard time and again that the hedge fund industry is worth a whopping $1.3 trillion, but do you know just how much of that amount comes from institutional investors in Europe? Not much apparently, as a recent study revealed.

European institutions have contributed only 690 billion pounds to the total value of hedge fund assets.
Insurers and pension funds in Germany have invested only 2 percent of their total portfolio with hedge and private equity funds.
Investors across continental Europe have put only 50 billion euros of their total investment of 2.5 trillion euros into hedge and private equity funds.
