Japanese scheme ups hedge funds allocation

A $122bn (€78bn) Japanese retirement asset manager has put $2.6bn into hedge funds in the last year, in a move to diversify its holdings and boost returns.

Japan's Pension Fund Association first began investing in hedge funds in the second half of last year with about ¥50bn and is now aiming to increase its allocation to the asset class to 4% of its total assets, according to Bloomberg.
