À medida que as ações americanas atingem novas máximas, o tamanho dos ativos dos fundos de hedge também atinge recordes

Goldman Sachs reports that on May 2nd, Wall Street once again showed a scene of prosperity, with the stock market repeatedly reaching new highs, and investors’ risk appetite also rebounding — and alternative investment strategies have also achieved success. The S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq 100 Index both closed at record highs this month, thanks to the earnings performance of large technology companies and the strong earnings forecasts of Apple. Although people are optimistic about traditional asset markets, another scene has emerged in the more alternative investment strategy sector. According to data from the “Hedge Fund Research” organization, in the first quarter of this year, hedge funds attracted a total of $45 billion, setting the highest quarterly inflow since 2007, and bringing the total assets of the industry to a record high of $5.2 trillion. According to data from Société Générale, trend-following quantitative funds increased by about 10% year-to-date in May, outperforming the U.S. stock market.
