Global hedge funds saw a slight dip in performance in the last month of 2024 according to SS&C GlobeOp, with the firm’s Hedge Fund Performance Index, an asset-weighted, independent monthly measure of fund performance indicating a 0.10% decline in December.
Hedge fund flows, meanwhile, as measured by the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index, which represents the monthly net of hedge fund subscriptions and redemptions administered by SS&C GlobeOp on the SS&C GlobeOp platform, declined 1.48% in January.
“SS&C GlobeOp’s Capital Movement Index for January 2025 was -1.48%, which reflects annual asset allocation and portfolio rebalancing patterns,” said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SS&C Technologies.
“With the potential for increased market volatility and dealmaking activity, conditions for hedge funds in the coming year continue to be attractive. The emergence of a more stabilised high-rate environment coupled with ongoing global economic uncertainties is also conducive to hedge fund performance.”
