All six of the investable Market Vectors Hedge Fund Beta Indices recorded positive performance in July.
Each index is constructed using transparent, liquid exchange-traded funds to produce hedge fund-style returns without hedge fund pricing, opaqueness and redemption restrictions.
The MV North America L/S Equity Hedge Fund Beta Index was the top performer with a return of 3.01 per cent followed by the MV Global L/S Equity Hedge Fund Beta Index (2.32 per cent), MV Western Europe L/S Equity Hedge Fund Beta Index (1.91 per cent), MV Emerging Markets L/S Equity Hedge Fund Beta Index (1.52 per cent) and MV Global Event L/S Equity Hedge Fund Beta Index (1.49 per cent).
The MV Asia (Developed) L/S Equity Hedge Fund Beta Index recorded the lowest return with 0.42 per cent.
MVIS currently offers four regional and two global long/short hedge fund strategies.
