Despite what some observers see as a slow-down in the Asian investments sector, there are several hedge funds that have proven these observers to be too pessimistic. Take for example the recently launched Oasis Investments Limited fund, which had an extraordinary beginning.
During the first 14 months of investing with its internal funds the global market-neutral, multi-strategy, multi-asset fund returned at a 100 percent annualized rate, setting the stage for much excitement when the fund finally opened its doors to outside investors in the late summer of 2011.
The goal of Oasis Investments Limited, whose Oasis Investments Master Fund II will continued the investment strategies of its first 14 months is to reach total assets under management of $1 billion.
The interest expressed in Oasis Investments Limited is part of a more general trend of increased interest in the Asian marketplace. Hedge funds have added $93.9 billion to the industry from investors during the first four months of the year, topping the previous year’s increase of only $28 billion during the corresponding four months.
It is true that hedge funds are still behind the $192 billion where they were at the end of December, 2007 when the international financial crisis first reared its head. However the past year has shown net positive flows into the industry, according to AsiaHedge, an important tracker of hedge fund trends.
