The Q2 2026 Buy-Side Management Insight Report is now available to download.
From this year, we will be bringing together our Hedge Fund and Asset Manager networks under a single Buyside Network. As hedge funds and asset managers increasingly navigate similar challenges across strategy, market structure and trading, combining the two communities reflects the growing alignment between them.
In this quarter’s report, we look at:
- The impact of Q1 volatility on the buy-side trading ecosystem
- Margin efficiency and collateral management
- Multi-strategy funds and CTA
Report findings preview: Operational pain points caused by Q1 volatility were most acute in margin and collateral management, where 47% of survey respondents encountered challenges.
This report is based on a survey of the Acuiti Buy-Side Expert Network, a group of senior executives from over 100 buyside firms across the global market. Each quarter, members of the network propose topics and questions for the report.
