AIMA, in partnership with Simmons & Simmons and Seward and Kissel are pleased to present the Q2 2024 AIMA Hedge Fund Confidence Index (HFCI) providing a snapshot of fund managers confidence in their economic prospects of their business for the coming 12 months.

Key highlights of the report include:

  • Over 90% of hedge fund respondents report a positive confidence score.
  • Hedge funds based in the Middle East and the UK cite the highest level of confidence for the upcoming 12 months. By comparison, US and APAC-based funds score lowest on confidence.
  • Optimism around capital raising continues to grow, with over 70% of respondents citing an increase in confidence.

Based on a sample of 250 hedge funds accounting for approx. US$2 trillion in assets under management that participated in the industry poll taken throughout the week commencing 16 June, the average measure of confidence is +16.5, down slightly from Q1 (+19) and below the four-year rolling average of +17.7.

In addition to our regular analysis highlighting confidence scores by AUM, region and size, this edition includes a new feature showing what is driving confidence among hedge funds.
