IOSCO Investment Funds Statistics Report

This report, covering not only hedge funds, but also open-ended and closed-ended funds, is the first of its kind by IOSCO and is underpinned by a broad data survey to which 50 IOSCO members have contributed; representing almost $US50 trillion, or 67% of total asset under management of the global investment funds universe. It contains information on hedge funds as well as an initial analysis on open-ended and closed-ended funds, noting, however, that data available to regulators (and thus also to IOSCO) on these latter two types of funds is currently more limited in certain jurisdictions. Additionally, the report contains information on leverage as well as on other areas of the investment fund industry including: aggregate liquidity profile, counterparty risk, borrowing risk and collateral needs.
