"Investors allocated heavily into hedge funds in April, the third consecutive month of elevated inflows," it said in a statement.

A total of $17.9 billion of new money was invested to more than offset a slightly weaker asset-weighted performance and push assets under management to a level not seen since the second quarter of 2008, eVestment added.
