Investment manager locations
editIn contrast to the funds themselves, investment managers are primarily located onshore, which allows them to maintain close proximity to both investors and financial talent. The United States remains the largest center of investment, with US-based funds managing around 70% of global assets at the end of 2011.[1] As of April 2012, there were approximately 3,990 investment advisers managing one or more private hedge funds registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.[2] New York City and the Gold Coast area of Connecticut are the leading locations for US hedge fund managers.[3][4]
London is Europe's leading center for hedge fund managers. According to EuroHedge data, around 800 funds located in the UK managed some 85% of European-based hedge fund assets in 2011.[1] Interest in hedge funds in Asia has increased significantly since 2003, especially in Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore.[5] However, the UK and the US remain the leading locations for management of Asian hedge fund assets.[1]
