The fallout from the coronavirus pandemic is set to unlock global “megatrends” this year, including consumer and corporate technology, healthcare, and sustainability themes – and hedge fund investors can expect a “rich environment for growth”, a major new study by JP Morgan Asset Management suggests.
The firm’s 2021 Global Alternative Outlook also predicts a rebound in equity market fundamentals as economies recover from the Covid crisis, as well as continued momentum in special purpose acquisition vehicles (SPACs), which have seen a surge in activity among several high-profile, brand name hedge funds over the past year.
