Hello and welcome to the latest AFI podcast, taking you inside the key trends shaping the global hedge fund industry. This week we’ll look back at key trends in Q3 as hedge funds came back down to earth with a dip in performance after a double-digit return in Q2. But investors have backed hedge funds this year, with net inflows every quarter, and Q3 was no different, with inflows totalling $36bn, just below the $39.1bn seen in Q2. We unpack all that and more with regular guest Declan Quilligan, head of hedge fund services at Citco, and then zero in on North America and the multi-strategy market following a joint event hosted in New York City, with Peter Kane, head of North America.
