Deutsche Bank Global Prime Finance: 2018 Alternative UCTIS Survey

Total assets managed by alternative UCITS funds have increased meaningfully, achieving a compounded annualised growth rate (CAGR) of over 18% since January 2014 to reach $374bn as of September 2018. While the size of the alternative UCITS universe remains small relative to that of the overall hedge fund ($3.2tn)2 and UCITS ($11.5tn) industries, both of these have lower CAGRs of 4.5% and 8% respectively over the same period.
