Khosla outlines the current emerging trends for Asian hedge funds. He gives a nice overview of Asian hedge funds and points out the major changes in Asian hedge funds. If somebody ever wrote a book titled 'History of hedge funds in Asia' in 2030, I can bet every dollar in my pocket that he (or she) shall refer to 2010 & 2011 as the defining years in the evolution of the industry in this part of the world.

The irreversible trends that have emerged in Asian hedge funds over the last few months are expected to completely change the industry landscape in the years to come.
