In Europe, just as in the U.S., 2003 was the year that institutional investment in hedge funds began to take off. After three years of dismal returns in their traditional bond and stock portfolios, British, Dutch, Scandinavian and Swiss pension funds and insurance companies turned their attention to alternative investments, whose value as noncorrelated holdings they craved even as equity markets worldwide recovered last year.
On the whole, continental European institutions increased their average strategic allocation to hedge funds to 3.2 percent last year, double the level of 2001. According to a 2003 study by Goldman Sachs International and Russell Investment Group, U.K. institutional investors boosted their average strategic allocation to hedge funds to 5.0 percent last year, compared with 1.8 percent in 2001. The increased interest in alpha-oriented investing swelled the coffers of the fast-growing group of hedge fund managers based in Europe, where asset growth is outstripping that of the hedge fund market as a whole, according to analysts.
Much of that money is run by the very biggest managers. The Europe Hedge Fund 25, Alpha's ranking of the biggest families of single-manager hedge funds based in Europe, which is published for the first time in this issue, shows that the 25 top managers run $83 billion in assets, or about half of the total assets of $150 billion to $190 billion that industry analysts estimate Europe's hedge fund managers held at year-end 2003.
Leading our list of Europe's biggest hedge fund groups is London-based Man Investments, which ran $7.4 billion in its AHL managed-futures program as of September 30, 2003. Man is followed by multistrategy firm GLG Partners, also in London, with $7.05 billion and Barclays Global Investors, which offers equity market-neutral and other hedge funds around the world and managed $6.5 billion. Rounding out the top five are Dublin-based Vega Asset Management I, with $5.8 billion, and UBS, a fund-of-funds giant that oversaw $4.8 billion in single-manager funds as of September.
The European hedge fund managers who are attracting assets fastest have one thing in common -- an increasingly sophisticated infrastructure to manage portfolios and risk. The big European hedge fund managers no longer work out of small offices in the smarter parts of London (and most of the members of the Europe Hedge Fund 25 are in London, with a few in Paris, one in Switzerland and one operating out of Sweden). They look like veteran investment managers rather than upstart boutiques, and they sport extensive staff to develop trading models, manage risk and handle back office chores.
"There is a growing belief that larger hedge fund managers should have an infrastructure commensurate with their size, and we can show a huge infrastructure -- we can tick those boxes," says Mark Chambers, Man Investments' head of sales management for Europe. "This is attractive for people allocating $500 million -- there are not many [managers] that can take that capacity."
Man benefited from 2003's markets, which aided systematic trend followers. The firm's AHL program returned 21 percent for the year, helping to boost assets by $1.7 billion from year-end 2002. BGI added currency hedge funds to its product line last year. "What better place to harvest alpha than the currency markets?" asks Mark Fitzgerald, director of the Alternative Investment Group at BGI Europe. He points out that 90 percent of the foreign exchange market's participants -- such as central banks trying to support a currency or corporations hedging exposures -- are not trading for profit. That creates inefficiencies for fund managers such as BGI to exploit.
In our list we provide each manager's total assets under management as of September 30, 2003. Where possible, we also show assets at the individual fund level with 2003 returns net of fees through September 30, along with the fund's investing style. Asset totals reflect a firm's internally run, single-manager hedge funds and separate accounts but exclude funds of funds, funds managed by third parties, mutual funds and other long-only money, and private equity and venture capital. Assets run anywhere in the world are included, as long as the manager's ultimate parent company is located in Europe; we also count stand-alone money management units of U.S. companies if they are headquartered in Europe. We gathered our data through questionnaires completed by hedge fund managers and supplemented by extensive staff research. In some cases, asset totals or returns represent Alpha estimates. Additional data on the Europe Hedge Fund 25 and information on firms that completed our questionnaire but are too small to make the list this year are available on our Web site, www.institutionalinvestor.com/alpha.
Given the opacity of the hedge fund business, we may have missed some firms that belong on the Europe Hedge Fund 25. If we overlooked your firm, please e-mail us at hfeurope@iimagazine.com with your contact details so we can send you a questionnaire for the 2005 ranking.
This ranking was compiled by Institutional Investor's Alphaunder the direction of Assistant Managing Editor for Research Lewis Knox and Senior Editor Jane B. Kenney with Researchers Rachel Markus and Abel Lee.
