Liquidity becoming key for investing in hedge funds

Greenstone Equity Partners shares it's depth and breadth of expert industry knowledge on hedge funds.  Alex Gemici, Greenstone's CEO has been quoted:

There has been a swing back to high quality hedge funds in recent years as investors have begun to ascribe greater value to liquidity. In asset classes such as private equity or venture capital, investments can be locked away for as long as a decade.

It pays for investors to be in a strategy that is going to protect them, which is catered to perform better in down markets.

Alex also highlighted that it is hard for investors to get into the best performers - the funds­ which consistently outperform indices.  However, Greenstone is bringing these top global funds to the GCC, making it possible for regional investors to participate.
