Hedge funds protect investors from volatile markets through Q3 2022

Hedge funds are known for their resilience through unstable markets. As expected, during the pandemic, the asset class provided some protection to investors. This resulted in more investor interest and a return to inflows after an extended period of outflows. The two most recent quarters (Q2 2022 and Q3 2022) have seen outflows of $62.4bn. In our upcoming Preqin Global Report 2023: Hedge Funds, we explore the drivers of these outflows and the potential implications for the wider industry.
