By: John_Mauldin
The BOJ, the ECB, and the Fed have gone on an asset buying spree since 2008.

The Growth of the Asian Hedge Fund Industry, with Vietnam as a Superior Location / Companies / Hedge Funds
By: Submissions

Asian hedge funds were able to hold their ground in 2014, a year that was particularly challenging for the hedge fund industry in general. During Q2 2015, Asia Pacific based hedge funds returned 5.14%, while hedge funds in North America only returned 1.19%, and Europe based hedge funds reported a loss of 0.11%.

Mind you, if you have $10,000 or more to invest, you can skip the whole hedge fund hoopla and invest in so called "liquidity products." These are hybrids between hedge funds and mutual funds – essentially, hedge funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Blackrock, Deutsche Asset Management, PIMCO and a host of others have been pumping these out in recent years.
