Australian superannuation scheme trustees continue to display a suspicion of hedge funds, with a new survey estimating the amount invested in the sector at just A$1.25bn (€730m).

In the survey conducted by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, just 15% of the 200 funds that reported back said they had made hedge fund investments.
