Alternative investors are increasingly drawn to Asian hedge funds and distressed strategies, according to the latest Alternative Investment Survey from Deutsche Bank. The 2019 survey canvassed the views of 425 asset allocators running $1.7 trillion of hedge fund assets in 28 countries. Deutsche Bank said that the prominence of Asia was a significant change from previous reports. This is the first time since 2010 that more than one third of investors named it as a hot spot for alternative investing.
