Asia-focused hedge funds have outperformed US funds in navigating the market downturn more efficiently.

On March 14, 2025, Reuters reported that Asia-focused hedge funds have outperformed their U.S. counterparts during the recent market downturn. Driven by a global influx of investors into the Chinese market, these Asian funds have benefited from the growth in Chinese stocks.

According to Morgan Stanley’s report dated March 12, Asia-focused hedge funds experienced an average loss of 0.71% up to March 10, while U.S. hedge funds and global hedge funds faced losses of 2.6% and 1.7%, respectively. Since the beginning of the year, hedge fund investments in Chinese stocks have nearly doubled compared to the market growth period in September 2024.
