Institutional investors should put more money into hedge funds to generate potentially higher returns amid warnings of global economic uncertainty, inflation volatility and geopolitical instability, strategists at BlackRock have said.The BlackRock Investment Institute said yesterday: “We believe investors can hold up to 5 percentage points more in hedge funds today than they did before 2020.” This is the biggest allocation increase to the sector ever recommended by the institute, which is part of the world’s largest asset manager.There are tentative signs that the hedge fund industry has been emerging from a period of lacklustre performance, with many institutional investors having preferred to allocate funds to private equity and private credit.The BlackRock strategists said they saw “hedge funds emerging as a key tool in portfolio construction as a result”, which “justifies boosting allocations to hedge fund strategies in portfolios”.“One way to fund the increase to hedge funds would be by trimming developed market government bonds and equities . . . with no change to the private market allocation,” they added.
