    LONDON (Reuters) - New hedge fund launches will 'likely' end the year at their lowest in 24 years amid tough fundraising conditions, hedge fund research firm Preqin said on Wednesday, based on numbers from the first three quarters of this year.

    Most of this year's new funds aim to trade stocks, said the research firm.
