Investors set to allocate $185bn to Ucits in 2011
Investors are anticipating that Ucits III funds will receive more than $185bn in inflows over the next year, a Deutsche Bank survey has revealed.
Taking current assets under management of Ucits-compliant absolute return funds to be $140bn, this would mean that the sector is likely to double in size over the next year.
The report, which was conducted by the Deutsche Bank Hedge Fund Capital Group, surveyed 184 investors, including wealth managers, insurance companies, funds of funds, family offices and high net worth individuals, totalling $2.1trn.
On average, these investors expect to have over 20% of their total investments in Ucits-complaint funds by 2013.
Just under a third of investors cited liquidity as being the most attractive feature of Ucits funds, with regulatory oversight and transparency coming in second and third.
