　　日前，另类投资管理协会（AIMA）CEO Jack Inglis在“中国资产管理论坛2025（香港）”期间接受本报专访时表示，无论市场如何波动，AIMA对中国的态度从未改变。中国市场规模庞大、创新层出不穷，令人兴奋且不容忽视。

　　AIMA CEO： China‘s Market Too Important to Overlook as Alts Go Mainstream

　　“The Chinese market is too large， too innovative， and too dynamic to be ignored．” Jack Inglis， CEO of the Alternative Investment Management Association （AIMA） said， in an interview with China Fund News during the China Asset Management Forum 2025 in Hong Kong． Regardless of market fluctuations， Inglis said， AIMA‘s commitment to China has never wavered．

　　深耕中国市场

　　Continuing Deep Engagement in the Chinese Market

　　Jack Inglis透露，约12年前，当他加入AIMA时，中国香港的会员就希望AIMA将业务扩展到中国内地。随后，AIMA与中国证券投资基金业协会（AMAC）建立了密切合作关系。“我们非常自豪地成为第一个与AMAC签署谅解备忘录的国际组织。”近年来，AIMA已在纽约、法兰克福、伦敦、东京、阿布扎比、迪拜和中国香港举办了七场中国资产管理论坛，向全球介绍中国资产管理行业。

　　Jack Inglis revealed that around 12 years ago， when he joined AIMA， members in Hong Kong hoped the association would expand its presence into Chinese mainland． AIMA subsequently established a partnership with the Asset Management Association of China （AMAC）． “We are very proud to have been the first international organization to sign a memorandum of understanding with AMAC，” he said． In recent years， AIMA has hosted seven China Asset Management Forums in New York， Frankfurt， London， Tokyo， Abu Dhabi， Dubai， and Hong Kong， introducing China’s asset management industry to the world．

　　Jack Inglis表示，AIMA越来越多地服务于那些“走出去”的中国管理人，尤其是在中国香港。“作为国际投资者和全球行业组织，中国市场太大、太令人兴奋，创新层出不穷，不容忽视。”

　　Jack Inglis added that AIMA increasingly serves Chinese managers who are “going global，” particularly those based in Hong Kong． “For international investors and for us as a global industry organization， the Chinese market is simply too large， too exciting， and too full of innovation to ignore．”

　　他认为，一方面，中国拥有高素质的人才和不断发展、日趋成熟的私募基金行业；另一方面，中国资产管理行业的运作实践正与国际标准融合——这正是AIMA能发挥作用的地方。

　　He believes that， on the one hand， China has a pool of highly skilled professionals and a rapidly developing， increasingly sophisticated private fund industry． On the other hand， the operational practices of China’s asset management industry are converging with international standards—an area where AIMA can add value．

　　机构化运营是长期成功的关键

　　Institutionalized Operations Are Key to Long-Term Success

　　AIMA是全球另类投资管理行业的代表性会员机构，覆盖对冲基金、私募股权、房地产、私募信贷、大宗商品、基础设施和数字资产等领域，会员遍布60多个国家/地区，致力于行业教育、政策倡导、监管沟通和最佳实务指南等工作。

　　AIMA is the leading global representative body for the alternative investment management industry， covering hedge funds， private equity， real estate， private credit， commodities， infrastructure， and digital assets． With members across more than 60 countries and regions， it is dedicated to industry education， policy advocacy， regulatory engagement， and the development of best practice standards．

　　在AIMA看来，建立符合机构化标准的运营和合规框架，是长期成功的关键，也是全球机构投资者对另类投资的期待。当资产规模增长到一定水平时，这是另类资产管理机构不得不面对的问题。

　　From AIMA’s perspective， establishing operational and compliance frameworks that meet institutional standards is essential for long-term success—and is precisely what global institutional investors expect from alternative investment firms． As assets under management expand， this becomes an inevitable challenge for such institutions．

　　AIMA有大量指导性文件、实践手册，以及网络研讨会与培训课程，帮助会员确保运营标准符合全球机构投资者与各司法辖区监管机构的要求。

　　AIMA provides a wide range of guidance materials， practice manuals， webinars， and training programs to help its members ensure their operational standards align with the expectations of global institutional investors and regulators across jurisdictions．

　　何为AIMA所称的“健全实践”？Jack Inglis举例说明：第一，估值（valuation）是关键领域，因为它涉及基金管理人与投资者之间的利益是否一致；第二，经营管理层面的问题——许多基金创始人来自银行或自营交易部门，创业后需要重新学习如何运营一家企业；第三，网络安全是AIMA最频繁更新的指南主题，不分大小机构都面临同样的风险。AIMA提供的、管理人广泛使用的工具包括尽职调查问卷，它告诉投资人在投资前应该如何了解一家管理人。

　　Jack Inglis highlights three key examples of sound practices． First， valuation represents a critical area because it determines whether the interests of fund managers and investors are properly aligned． Second， operational management poses challenges for many fund founders who come from banking or proprietary trading backgrounds and must learn to run a complete business after launching their own firms． Third， cybersecurity remains the most frequently updated topic in AIMA‘s guidance， as firms of all sizes face similar threats． To support these practices， AIMA provides widely used tools such as due diligence questionnaires that help investors assess managers before committing capital．

　　未来资金可能继续流入对冲基金等

　　Capital Likely to Continue Flowing into Hedge Funds etc．

　　谈及未来12个月另类投资领域的趋势，Jack Inglis介绍，当前全球公开市场不确定性高企：宏观经济问题、地缘政治紧张、全球格局碎片化等促使投资者更倾向于增加另类资产配置。

　　Discussing trends in the alternative investment space over the next 12 months， Jack Inglis noted that considerable uncertainty persists in global public markets， ranging from macroeconomic challenges and geopolitical tensions to broader global fragmentation.This uncertainty is prompting investors to increase allocations to alternative assets．

　　未来一年，资金最可能流入对冲基金，尤其是那些与公募市场相关性较低的策略——比如量化市场中性、全球宏观策略等，而不是高杠杆的多头股权型基金。波动性上升与潜在市场扰动也将为这些策略提供更多机会。

　　Over the coming year， capital is most likely to flow into hedge funds， particularly strategies with low correlation to public markets—such as quantitative market-neutral and global macro funds—rather thaninto highly leveraged long-only equity funds． Rising volatility and potential market disruptions are also expected to create more opportunities for these strategies．

　　据安永（EY）预测，到2030年全球另类投资行业的规模可能从目前的约22万亿美元增长到30万亿美元，意味着未来五年还有约7万亿美元的潜在增长空间。

　　According to forecasts from Ernst & Young （EY）， the global alternative investment industry could expand from roughly $22 trillion today to $30 trillion by 2030， representing about $7 trillion in potential growth over the next five years．

　　另类投资已成主流

　　Alternative Investments Have Become Mainstream

　　35年前，一群对冲基金行业人士在伦敦创立了另类投资管理协会。彼时，他们认为需要一个机构代表对冲基金行业。1990年AIMA刚成立时，对冲基金行业管理的资产规模不到1000亿美元。到2025年，全球对冲基金总资产已超过5万亿美元。如今AIMA在60多个国家拥有超过2000家企业会员，业务领域也超越了对冲基金，涵盖私募股权、私募信贷、房地产、基础设施等另类投资的方方面面。

　　About 35 years ago， a group of hedge fund professionals founded the Alternative Investment Management Association in London， believing that the industry needed a unified voice． When AIMA was established in 1990， hedge funds collectively managed less than $100 billion． By 2025， that figure has surpassed $5 trillion． Today， AIMA has more than 2，000 corporate members across over 60 countries， and its work now extends well beyond hedge funds to cover all major segments of alternative investments， including private equity， private credit， real estate， and infrastructure．

　　一定意义上，另类投资已渐成主流。

　　In many ways， alternative investments have become part of the mainstream．

　　Jack Inglis介绍，根据今年早些时候对机构投资者的调查，目前投资者最有可能减少配置的是被动的纯多头股票，而最有可能增加配置的则是另类投资，特别是对冲基金和私募信贷。其他银行的调查也显示了类似趋势。

　　Jack Inglis noted that， according to a survey of institutional investors earlier this year， the asset class investors are most likely to reduce is passive long-only equities， while the largest expected increase is in alternative investments—particularly hedge funds and private credit． Similar trends have been observed in surveys conducted by other financial institutions．

　　他表示，目前北美的大型养老基金对另类投资的配置权重可能接近30%，这在一定程度上表明另类投资已成为主流。投资者希望在纯多头股票表现出色时增加另类投资敞口。眼下，日本股市创历史新高，中国内地和香港市场表现出色，美国纳斯达克和标普指数也表现得非常好。尽管如此，这伴随着巨大的不确定性。另类投资可作为投资组合中传统投资敞口的分散工具，降低与传统投资的相关性。

　　He said that major North American pension funds now allocate close to 30% of their portfolios to alternative investments—an indication that the asset class has entered the mainstream． Investors are increasingly seeking to expand alternative exposure even when long-only equities are performing strongly． Currently， Japanese equities are hitting record highs， Chinese mainlandand Hong Kong markets are performing well， and both the Nasdaq and S&P are robust—yet all amid significant uncertainties． Alternative investments， he noted， serve as effective diversifiers， reducing portfolio correlation with traditional asset classes．

　　最近几年，大量资金涌入另类投资领域。针对另类投资领域是否已过度拥挤的问题，Jack Inglis表示，并无迹象表明拥挤正在造成危险。全球市场上会不时出现急剧调整，这可能是由量化信号引起的，但这些波动会非常快速地自我修正。在非公开市场，虽然有更多资金进入、交易竞争更激烈，但目前没有证据表明利差已缩小到投资私募股权或私募信贷相比公开市场没有任何优势的程度。

　　In recent years， substantial capital has flowed into alternative investments． Addressing concerns about potential overcrowding， Jack Inglis said there is no evidence that it poses systemic risks． While global markets occasionally experience sharp corrections—sometimes triggered by quantitative signals—these fluctuations tend to self-correct quickly． In private markets， though competition for deals has intensified as more capital enters， there is still no indication that spreads have narrowed to the point where private equity or private credit no longer offer an advantage over public markets．

　　管理机构对最优秀人才的竞争激烈，他们乐于支付高薪吸引顶尖人才，这意味着他们认为该领域还有更多机会。

　　Competition among management firms for top talent remains intense， and their willingness to pay premium compensation suggests they still see abundant opportunities in the space．

　　私募信贷增长可持续

　　Growth in Private CreditIs Sustainable

　　AIMA副CEO Ji Krl介绍，私募信贷是近年来另类投资的重要增长领域，有机构预计几年后私募信贷市场规模可达7万亿美元。

　　Ji Krl， Deputy CEO of AIMA， noted that private credit has been one of the fastest-growing segments within alternative investments in recent years， with some institutions projecting that the market could reach $7 trillion within a few years．

　　AIMA于10年前设立另类信贷委员会（ACC），专门代表私募信贷管理人。其主要工作包括：数据研究——帮助投资者、监管者理解私募信贷的风险与机遇；市场发展——推动各国放宽非银行主体直接放贷的监管限制；产品创新——推动类似美国BDC（商业发展公司）的机制在欧洲、英国、新加坡、加拿大等市场落地。

　　A decade ago， AIMA established the Alternative Credit Council （ACC） to represent private credit managers． Its main initiatives include data research—to help investors and regulators better understand the risks and opportunities in private credit； market development—to advocate for the easing of regulatory restrictions on non-bank direct lending across jurisdictions； and product innovation—to promote mechanisms similar to U.S． Business Development Companies （BDCs） in Europe， the UK， Singapore， Canada， and other markets．

　　私募信贷增长是可持续的趋势。Ji Krl表示，从投资者角度看，回报依然具有吸引力，尤其对保险机构而言。随着全球各地监管机构完善证券化规则，保险与零售资金的参与度将进一步提升。无论从资产端还是资金端来看，私募信贷的增长都具有坚实基础，而非泡沫化现象。

　　Private credit growth， he said， is a sustainable trend． From an investor’s perspective， returns remain attractive—particularly for insurance institutions． As regulators around the world refine securitization frameworks， participation from insurance and retail investors is set to rise further． Whether viewed from the asset side or the capital side， the expansion of private credit is underpinned by strong fundamentals rather than speculative excess．

　　他表示，这一趋势也体现在资产管理行业的并购浪潮中。近年来，许多传统资产管理公司积极收购私募市场尤其是私募信贷领域的机构。如今，全球最大的资产管理公司几乎都在同时提供传统资产管理与另类投资服务。

　　He added that this trend is also evident in the wave of mergers and acquisitions across the asset management industry． In recent years， many traditional asset managers have actively acquired firms in the private markets—particularly in private credit． Today， nearly all of the world’s largest asset management firms offer both traditional and alternative investment solutions．
