Asia-focused hedge funds are set to beat their U.S. and European rivals for the fourth time in five years. Funds investing in Asia returned 15.6 percent through November, compared to 5.7 percent in North America and 6.5 percent in Europe, according to data provider Eurekahedge. The outperformance was driven mainly by the greater proportion of funds investing in equities, particularly in China and India, said Mohammad Hassan, head of hedge fund analysis at Eurekahedge.
