The gross return of the SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index May 2019 measured -0.92 per cent. Hedge fund flows meanwhile, as measured by the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index advanced 0.19 per cent in June.
“SS&C GlobeOp’s Capital Movement Index showed a gain of 0.19 per cent for June of 2019, reflecting positive net inflows. On a year-over-year basis, this gain was lower than the 0.48 per cent increase reported for the same period a year ago for June 2018, but was well within the range of normal variation,” says Bill Stone (pictured), Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. “Overall, we consider the positive net inflows for June to be a favorable sign for hedge funds in view of the recent uptick in market volatility related to continuing trade concerns and possible changes in Federal Reserve monetary policy.”
