Hedge funds surpass $13 trillion

The International Monetary Fund has warned that hedge funds, which surpassed $13 trillion in assets at the beginning of 2026, pose increasing risks to the financial system. These funds have experienced significant growth over the past decade, particularly through the use of artificial leverage, and their participation in the U.S. Treasury bond market increased to 9% in 2026 from 4% in 2022. The Fund emphasized that ongoing lack of transparency and weak oversight of these funds could intensify market pressures when conditions deteriorate, urging efforts to close data gaps and strengthen policy supervision of the sector.
