Across the country, hedge funds and other alternative asset managers help make our economy work. Institutional investors like pensions, university endowments, and charitable foundations rely on investments in hedge funds to secure and create opportunities for workers, students, and communities.
These critical investments are not just managed on Wall Street. According to Hedge Fund Alert’s 2023 data published last month, 49 out of 50 states have hedge funds that actively contribute resources to support local communities nationwide.
The positive impact of investments in hedge funds can be felt in
- College campuses in Louisiana, where 4 hedge funds call the Pelican State home;
- Pension funds in Ohio, where 17 hedge funds call the Buckeye State home; and
- Nonprofit organizations in California, where over 300 hedge funds call the Golden State home.
Institutional investors allocate private credit, crossover funds, and other alternative asset managers, because, unlike other pooled funds, they protect investors from market volatility and downturns by providing reliable, uncorrelated returns regardless of market conditions. This enables pensions, foundations, and endowments to continuously serve their beneficiaries across the country, even during down markets.
