Total inflows into hedge funds stood at $164 billion, surpassing the previous high of $126 billion, which was set last year, according to the Chicago-based hedge fund data firm. Total industry assets stood at $1.81 trillion at the end of the quarter. Event-driven hedge funds received $9.8 billion in new assets, relative-value arbitrage received $9.2 billion, and equity hedge got $8.5 billion.
