The Conviction Paradox: Why most hedge fund CIOs are bullish whilst describing markets as “unprecedented”, and what their low defensive positioning actually means
The AI Divide: How artificial intelligence is creating a strategic rift between hedge fund strategies, with some seeing transformation and others reporting no impact
Trump 2.0 and The Atlantic Split: Why 71% view policy volatility favourably, and how North American and European CIOs interpret regulatory shifts differently
Market Structure Vulnerabilities: What actually concerns leading CIOs - from passive flows overwhelming fundamentals to liquidity risks and credit market freezing
The Resource Race: Where competitive advantage is migrating as CIOs prioritise quantitative firepower, next-generation talent, and the success attributes for 2025

When nine in ten global CIOs managing billions in hedge fund assets express bullish sentiment whilst simultaneously describing markets as unprecedented, something counterintuitive is happening. Hedgeweek®’s exclusive 2025 CIO Sentiment Report reveals why leading managers are playing offence, not defence.

But consensus optimism masks critical strategic divides that will separate winners from losers. AI adoption is creating a performance rift between strategies. North American and European funds view the Trump administration's impacts through fundamentally different lenses. Resource allocation priorities reveal where competitive advantage is migrating.
