An extrapolation of Preqin’s global projection for private capital demand to Luxembourg suggests the grand duchy’s private and alternative investment market could add more than 1000 billion euro in private capital during the coming years.

Hedge funds with a macro or multi-strategy focus were among the best performing funds in the first quarter, shielding investors from geopolitical turmoil, high inflation numbers and shifting monetary policies, according to Preqin, a privately-held London-based investment data company that provides financial data and information on the alternative assets market.

The firm said that, in a historical context, first quarter performance was “certainly disappointing but hedge funds managed to guard investors against major pullbacks.”
