The gross return of the SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index for August 2015 measured -1.02 per cent. Hedge fund flows as measured by the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index advanced 0.64 per cent in September.

"SS&C GlobeOp's Capital Movement Index for September 2015 showed a gain of 0.64 per cent, very much in line with August's 0.71 per cent gain as well as the 0.55 per cent reported a year ago for September of 2014," says Bill Stone (pictured), Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. "Comparisons for both the inflow and outflow components of the index were also very steady. Given the ongoing turmoil in global markets, this indicates that investors are confident the hedge fund industry can deliver attractive returns in times of increased volatility."
