The pace of withdrawals from those funds of hedge funds quickened from the prior record of $50 billion in the last three months of 2008, the Chicago-based research firm said. Assets in the funds dropped to $525.6 billion, the least since 2006. Investors pulled $103 billion from hedge funds overall from January through March.
