Segment Analysis

These funds typically operate from a jurisdiction such as the Cayman Islands or Bermuda, offering the practical advantages of lower operating costs and privacy, appealing to both high-net-worth individuals and institutions.
The Fund of Funds segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, as it allows for diversification of risk and access to a wide variety of investments.
