Wilson Asset Management chairman Geoff Wilson says support from his 80,000-strong investor base could help grow Blue Sky's $228.2 million hedge fund, Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund. Mr Wilson will meet with the fund's manager, Blue Sky Alternative Investments, on Thursday as he seeks to gain support for his firm's proposal to manage the listed hedge fund. If successful, it would be Wilson Asset Management's first foray into alternative assets, joining the WAM stable alongside more than $3 billion in funds that own Australian and global equities. "There is a lot of demand for alternative assets," Mr Wilson said.
