Investor redemptions from hedge funds hit a 12-month low in July, according to the latest data from SS&C Technologies, with the firm’s SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator falling to 1.56% for July, down from 2.27% in the previous month.
The indicator, which tracks advance redemption notices received by hedge funds administered on SS&C GlobeOp’s platform, continues a three-year downward trend, suggesting increasing investor confidence in hedge fund allocations.
“SS&C GlobeOp’s Forward Redemption Indicator declined to 1.56% for July 2025, continuing a three-year trend of decreasing redemption levels,” said Bill Stone, Chairman and CEO of SS&C Technologies. “With markets setting all-time highs, asset allocators are seeking investment alternatives to mitigate volatility. These alternatives aim to protect portfolios from large drawdowns, which are characteristics provided by hedge fund managers.”
The Indicator is a key barometer of liquidity and investor sentiment across SS&C GlobeOp’s hedge fund administration business, which represents roughly 10% of the estimated global hedge fund market. Redemption notices are typically issued 30–90 days in advance and may be canceled, making the data a forward-looking signal of investor behaviour.
