The SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator measured 1.72% in June 2026, up slightly from 1.52% in May, but down 24% from the 2.27% recorded in June 2025, highlighting continued investor confidence in hedge funds despite a volatile macroeconomic backdrop.
Redemption notices were also 45% below the 10-year June average of 3.13%, remaining close to historic lows.
According to SS&C Technologies, the figures suggest investors continue to maintain allocations to hedge funds even as markets grapple with geopolitical tensions, persistent inflation and uncertainty surrounding returns from significant investment in AI infrastructure.
“SS&C GlobeOp’s Forward Redemption Indicator for June 2026 was 1.72%. The figure was sharply lower than the 2.27% reported a year ago and well below the 10-year average of 3.13% for June redemptions,” said Bill Stone, chairman and chief executive officer of SS&C Technologies.
Stone added that while global conflicts, inflationary pressures and concerns over returns from AI-related capital expenditure continue to fuel market volatility, “stable redemption trends indicate investors continue to value the diversification benefits and risk-adjusted returns provided by hedge funds.”
The SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator measures forward redemption notices received from investors in hedge funds administered on the SS&C GlobeOp platform as a percentage of assets under administration at the start of the month. Because redemption notices are typically submitted 30 to 90 days before capital is withdrawn, the indicator provides an early view of investor redemption activity.
Redemption levels have remained well below the peak of 19.27% reached during the global financial crisis in November 2008. The next SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator will be published on 22 July 2026.
