US Hedge Fund Market Analysis
The US Hedge Fund Market size in terms of assets under management value is expected to grow from USD 2.77 trillion in 2024 to USD 3.80 trillion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.52% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The United States hedge fund market is one of the largest and most influential in the world. A hedge fund is a collective investment fund invested in securities or another type of investment to get returns. Hedge funds can use complex trading, portfolio construction, and risk management techniques to improve returns. The United States accounts for three-quarters of this industry's assets under management (AuM) worldwide.
Fund managers also use AIML (artificial intelligence and machine learning) more to increase returns and improve the efficiency of their operations. Several people with strong investment backgrounds are drawn to joining "plug and play" operations because they can concentrate on producing alpha instead of managing the risk and expense of starting their hedge fund, especially with the barriers to entry at an all-time high due to evolving regulatory requirements and complex operational requirements.
