One in four hedge fund managers to increase crypto exposure, says EY survey Submitted 25/11/2021 - 12:36pm More than on-in-four hedge fund managers are expecting to increase their exposure to cryptocurrencies in the next one to two years, according to the 2021 EY Global Alternative Fund Survey. This compares with 20 per cent of institutional investors who say they intend to increase their exposure to crypto-related assets. EY says that alternative fund managers have become more active participants in the sector, drawn by uncorrelated return profiles and continued investment in institutional-grade infrastructure to support this evolving asset class.
