In our first joint annual Fund Formation Trends Survey, Sudrania Fund Services and LaunchPad Creative found an overwhelming trend of new fund launches dominated by private equity and credit strategies, prompted by strong investor demand and asset flows.
The survey was conducted by Alternatives Watch via email from mid-December 2020 through January 2021 and included 90 global law firms specializing in alternative investments. One-on-one conversations were held with 20 firms, based mostly in the U.S. and Cayman Islands, about expectations for new fund launches among clients.
Lawyers specializing in alternative investment strategies revealed that the most likely arenas for new fund launches over the next 12 to 18 months will be private equity (26%) and credit strategies (26%), followed by long/short equity hedge funds (21%), (11%) for real estate and ESG and (5%) for crypto related funds.
