2 Preqin Special Report: Hedge Fund Manager Outlook Download the data pack: Foreword 2015 proved a challenging year for the hedge fund industry. Although the year started well, with hedge funds making gains in each of the fi rst fi ve months of 2015, a series of events across the globe hit many of the markets traded by hedge funds. This resulted in four months of losses from June to September, the longest losing streak for hedge funds since By the end of 2015, hedge funds had returned just 2.02%, representing the Preqin All- Hedge Fund benchmark s worst performance since Although the benchmark outperformed the S&P 500 over the year, this poor performance did not go unnoticed by investors: approximately a third of institutional investors reported to Preqin that hedge funds had failed to meet expectations in Many fund managers themselves were disappointed with performance in 2015: 44% of fund managers reported that their funds had failed to meet return objectives in However, amid the performance diffi culties of 2015 there were some bright spots; in particular, the industry recorded net capital infl ows of $71.5bn, taking the size of the hedge fund industry to nearly $3.2tn. More Challenges Ahead in 2016, as Well as Opportunities With 2015 behind us, what does 2016 hold for the hedge fund industry? Fund managers and investors agree that performance will be the leading challenge for the hedge fund industry in 2016, so perhaps performance will be the key to the success of the industry over the year. If hedge funds can navigate the changeable economic environment and continue to show better performance in times when traditional markets are struggling, then maybe the value of hedge funds can be proved to those investors that are currently taking a cautious approach to the asset class. The cost of running a successful hedge fund has increased over recent years as fund managers have invested in improving their business infrastructure to cope with an increasingly sophisticated client base and to adapt to new regulations. There are calls to cut fees further from investors, which could make it more diffi cult to run a profi table business in 2016 in particular for smaller managers. Although further investment in their business operations is diffi cult in light of calls for reduced fees, it could be vital to the success of a hedge fund in Investors are seeking improvements in performance; therefore the 41% of fund managers looking to beef up their portfolio management capabilities may be better placed to navigate the volatile environment in 2016 and win back investor favour. Originally a product used exclusively by wealthy individuals and families, institutional investors began to increasingly use hedge funds in the early 2000s. Today, Preqin tracks over 5,000 institutions that invest in hedge funds, with this number growing on a daily basis. Despite some notable investors cutting hedge funds from their portfolios over the past few years CalPERS, PFZW and Railpen to name a few the majority of institutional investors look set to remain active in hedge funds over the longer term. However, hedge fund managers have also reported that sources of private wealth family offi ces and wealth managers are once again increasing their allocations to their funds. With changes to regulations allowing the proliferation of alternative structures in hedge funds, such as UCITS in Europe and alternative mutual funds in the US, fund managers have also reported growth in assets from retail clients. As the universe of investors active in hedge funds becomes increasingly diverse, the hedge fund managers with products that can appeal to a variety of investors may be rewarded with a growing asset base. In November 2015, Preqin interviewed more than 350 fund managers globally to fi nd out more about their outlook on the hedge fund industry for the year ahead. In this report, we examine some of the key results of these interviews and take a closer look at fund fl ows in 2015, fund managers appetite for new fund launches in 2016, the possibility of fund closures in 2016 and the key challenges and opportunities for the asset class in the year ahead.

Although North America-based funds saw the largest infl ows in dollar terms, the growth in size of the European fund sector was the largest in terms of percentage increase. Despite a diffi cult returns environment, fund managers continued to see new opportunities in 2015 with the number of launches eclipsing the number of funds closing.

4 Preqin Special Report: Hedge Fund Manager Outlook Download the data pack: Asset Flows in could be described as a year of two halves for the hedge fund industry. The fi rst half of 2015 was largely prosperous and returns were healthy, but macroeconomic events in the second half caused a reversal of fortunes and the performance of the sector was stymied. Despite a diffi cult return environment in the second half of the year, assets under management (AUM) within the hedge fund industry added $71.5bn in fresh capital (Fig.1) over the course of 2015 and, as Fig. 2 shows, 59% of fund managers reported their asset base increased over the year. However, this is a smaller proportion than for fund managers that reported the same over 2014, when 70% saw an increase in assets and just 9% reported a decrease in AUM. In comparison, almost a quarter (23%) of fund managers reported a decrease in assets during Thirty-seven percent of fund managers reported receiving more capital from institutional investors compared to the previous year. Just 9% of managers said the amount of institutional capital they received had decreased in Hedge fund managers also reported they had witnessed increased infl ows from private wealth groups and high-networth individuals over the course of 2015 (Fig. 3). In fact, more fund managers reported increased infl ows from this group than reported increases from institutional investors. Fifty-six percent of fund managers reported seeing an increase in the amount of capital coming from family offi ces and 53% of fund managers saw improved infl ows from high-net-worth individuals in 2015 compared to At the end of 2014 we estimated that around 62% of hedge fund assets came from institutional investors; this fi gure has dropped to 60% in 2015 as private wealth groups increased their hedge fund allocations at a faster rate than their institutional counterparts.

5 Download the data pack: Preqin Special Report: Hedge Fund Manager Outlook New Fund Launches in 2016 Preqin asked fund managers whether they intend to launch a new fund in 2016, as well as how they believe certain strategies will perform over the next year. Twenty-nine percent of fund managers said they would be launching a new fund in 2016, a slight increase from the previous year, when 27% of managers told Preqin they were planning a new offering for As shown in Fig. 4, three in fi ve fund managers planning a new launch in 2016 intend to do so in the fi rst quarter of the year, with this fi gure tailing off throughout the year. This indicates that there may be more launches towards the end of the year, as those fund managers that do not have a planned offering in the pipeline may see a new opportunity later in Equity strategies funds are planned by a signifi cant proportion of fund managers; 43% of respondents with a new fund planned are looking to launch an equity-focused fund in 2016 (Fig. 5). Correspondingly, equity-focused strategies are expected to perform best in 2016 by 26% of fund managers, ahead of the next largest proportion (17%) of fund managers that believe macro strategies will perform the best in 2016 (Fig. 6). This is despite the fact that equity strategies returned just 0.87% in 2015, underperforming the Preqin All- Hedge Fund benchmark (+2.02%). In contrast, the outlook for CTAs is less optimistic. Although 14% of managers planning a new launch stated that a CTA strategy was in the works for 2016, this is lower than the 23% that were looking to launch this type of vehicle a year earlier. It follows a diffi cult period for managed futures, which posted -0.49% in 2015, with more managers believing this will be the worst performing strategy in 2016 than those that expect it to be the top performing strategy (16% vs. 15% respectively). CTAs typically offer non-correlated returns but confi dence in these funds was knocked in 2015 with poor returns delivered amid volatile equity markets. Our survey respondents also expect credit strategies to struggle in 2016, with one-third of managers tipping these funds to be the worst performers over the course of the year. A similar proportion () made the same forecast at the end of 2014, and yet credit funds outperformed some other strategies for much of 2015, ending the year with a 12-month return of 1.98%. It will be interesting to see if fund managers are proved correct in 2016, with the tightening of monetary policy by the US Federal Reserve and its consequences uncertain. Managers view funds that utilize multiple strategies in a more positive light heading into Thirteen percent of managers that plan to launch a new fund in 2016 will launch a multistrategy fund (Fig. 5). In addition, 15% of managers expect this approach to be the best performing strategy of the year, while only 3% expect multi-strategy funds to be the worst performers (Fig. 6). This prediction is not without merit; multi-strategy funds gained 4.14% in 2015, outperforming the hedge fund industry as a whole.

7 Download the data pack: Preqin Special Report: Hedge Fund Manager Outlook Challenges and Opportunities for 2016 The fund managers surveyed believe that the transparency around risk and performance will be the leading key driver of change for 2016 (Fig. 7). In addition, performance and navigating market volatility are the next leading challenges for fund managers in 2016, cited by 33% and of fund managers respectively. Macroeconomic events from across the globe such as the China slowdown, the Greek debt crisis and tumbling oil prices proved hard for hedge funds to navigate; the performance of the hedge fund sector in 2015 was its worst in four years. As shown in Fig. 8, the largest proportion (40%) of fund managers believe that their return goals had not been met in Managers believe this market volatility will continue into 2016 and it will be necessary to deliver better performance in order to win back the favour of those investors with a sceptical outlook towards the asset class. With many investors also citing performance as disappointing in 2015 (see the 2016 Preqin Global Hedge Fund Report), fund managers believe that they will not just have to perform better, they will also need to be more transparent in reporting to investors about the risks and the sources of return in order to be successful in Next to transparency, performance and volatility, investor pressure for reduced fees is viewed as a key issue for the industry in 2016, cited by 28% of fund managers. As investor concerns around performance grow, and the sector faces a more challenging fundraising environment, fund managers may need to reassess management and performance fees in order to fi nd success in Despite many fund managers believing that investor pressure for reduced fees will be a key challenge for 2016, which could lead to the need to cut costs, 84% of hedge fund managers intend to invest more money in their businesses in the year ahead. Forty-one percent of fund managers plan to invest more in their portfolio management capabilities in 2016 (Fig. 9). With successfully navigating market volatility in order to Fig. 7: Key Drivers of Change Facing the Hedge Fund Industry in 2016 Proportion of Respondents 45% 40% 35% 25% 20% 15% 5% 0% 40% Transparency around Risk and Performance 33% Performance Market Volatility 28% Investor Demand for More Favourable Fees generate better performance a key challenge for 2016, this investment in portfolio management may be necessary in order to improve this aspect of their hedge fund businesses. The same proportion (41%) intend to invest more capital in their marketing and business development capabilities. Fundraising could become more challenging in 2016 as many investors are taking a cautious approach to investing in the asset class (see the 2016 Preqin Global Hedge Fund Report); hedge fund managers look set to try to win a share of what infl ows there are through increased efforts on the sales front in A further 16% of hedge fund managers plan to make signifi cant investment in IT infrastructure in 2016 and a further 16% said they are planning to invest heavily in improving their legal and compliance capabilities, a necessary cost at a time when regulatory changes are prominent within the industry. 24% Investor Appetite for Alternative Investment Funds 22% 21% Liquidity at Fund Level Regulatory Scrutiny of Alternative Funds 19% Competition in Fundraising Fig. 8: Fund Manager Return Goals Relative to Expectations Fig. 9: Fund Manager Outlook for Business Area Investment in % 23% Return Goals Were Exceeded Return Goals Were Met Proportion of Respondents 45% 40% 35% 25% 20% 15% 5% 0% 41% 41% 16% 16% 14% 14% 11% 12% 37% Return Goals Were Not Met Portfolio Management Marketing/Business Development IT Legal/ Compliance Operations Risk Management Investor Relations Middle/ Back Office 2016 Preqin Ltd. / 7

8 Preqin Special Report: Hedge Fund Manager Outlook Download the data pack: Fund Closures in 2016 Preqin recorded 695 funds that closed in 2015; this number is likely to increase as more data becomes available in early The topic of fund closures has been much discussed over the past 12 months in light of large funds, such as Bluecrest, returning all external investor capital in However, most of the funds that liquidated over the year were not as large as Bluecrest; in fact, three-quarters of the funds that closed had less than $100mn in assets in their last year of trading. Preqin asked fund managers what they believed were the leading reasons behind fund closures over 2015; poor returns were cited by the largest proportion (37%) of fund managers (Fig. 10). In addition, 18% of fund managers believed it was some hedge funds inability to cope with the specifi c market events of 2015 that led to funds closing in the year. Fund managers also believe that small funds were at a disadvantage, with 19% of fund managers stating that most of the capital infl ows only go to the largest funds making it diffi cult for smaller funds to operate. Turning to 2016, fund managers were asked whether they believed there would be more funds closing business in 2016 than in 2015 (Fig. 11) and whether the numbers of funds closing in 2016 would exceed the number of new funds launched (Fig. 12). Although a large proportion (31%) of fund managers are unsure whether there will be more fund liquidations in 2016 than in 2015, the largest proportion of fund managers (58%) believe there would be an increase in the number of funds closing in When considering whether the industry would contract in 2016, in terms of total number of funds, fund managers showed more of a mixed outlook: 35% of fund managers are unsure on the issue, the same proportion believe there will be more fund closures than new launches and believe launches will outnumber closures. Although only time will tell whether the industry will continue to grow in terms of the total number of participating funds in 2016, it is likely that any growth we see will be smaller than in previous years. Fund managers are mostly agreed that a larger number of funds will close over the course of 2016 and many of the leading causes behind the liquidations in 2015 still persist: investor concerns over performance, infl ows into large funds, a diffi cult market environment and regulation are all very much ongoing concerns in the industry today. In fact, we could see the increased competition in fundraising cited by 7% of fund managers as a reason behind the fund closures in 2015 become more important in Preqin s survey of 150 investors at the end of 2015 revealed that more investors intend to reduce their exposure to hedge funds in 2016 than increase it, the fi rst time Preqin has recorded this net movement in favour of investors taking capital out of hedge funds since we began gathering this data in This could indicate that raising capital will become even more challenging in 2016; those fund managers that are unable to pinpoint investors that are seeking new hedge fund opportunities may struggle if their existing investors choose to redeem capital.

9 Download the data pack: Preqin Special Report: Hedge Fund Manager Outlook Outlook for 2016 For yet another year, concerns around the performance of the hedge fund sector have failed to dampen fund managers overall optimism for the year ahead. Sixty-three percent of surveyed managers maintain a positive outlook for 2016, the same proportion as when the question was posed the previous year (Fig. 13). Just of managers expressed a negative outlook for Fig. 13: Fund Manager Outlook for the Hedge Fund Industry in 2016 In conjunction with this positive outlook on the industry, managers are predicting an increase in AUM over the course of Seventy-two percent of respondents believe that industry assets will increase next year (Fig. 14). Indeed, fund managers remain optimistic for performance gains in 2016; 69% of those surveyed said that they expect the benchmark to post higher returns than in 2015 (Fig. 15). With gains for 2015 at a four-year low (+2.02%), investors and fund managers alike will be hoping that this will be achieved in % Positive Neutral 63% Negative Fig. 14: Fund Manager Outlook for Hedge Fund Industry Assets under Management in 2016 Fig. 15: Fund Manager Outlook for Hedge Fund Performance in 2016 Compared to % 13% The 2016 Preqin All- Hedge Fund Benchmark Will Surpass the 2015 Return 15% Increase Stay the Same 9% The 2016 Preqin All- Hedge Fund Benchmark Will Be Approximately the Same as the 2015 Return 72% Decrease 69% The 2016 Preqin All- Hedge Fund Benchmark Will Fall Short of the 2015 Return Unsure at Present Preqin Hedge Fund Online: The Leading Source of Intelligence on the Hedge Fund Industry Hedge Fund Online is Preqin s award-winning hedge fund information resource, incorporating all of our hedge fund data, intelligence and functionality, providing you with the most comprehensive coverage of the asset class available.
