The gross return of the SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index for December 2017 measured 0.84 per cent.
Hedge fund flows as measured by the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index declined 1.35 per cent in January.
“SS&C GlobeOp’s Capital Movement Index for January 2018 showed net flows of -1.35 per cent, which should be viewed as a very strong result considering January typically produces significant net outflows for hedge funds,” says Bill Stone (pictured), Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. “In fact, on a year-over-year basis, the -1.35 per cent for January 2018 represents a sharp improvement from the -3.30 per cent reported for the same period a year ago for January 2017 and is also the lowest net outflow for any month of January since 2012. Moreover, this gain was driven by a combination of increased inflows as well as lower outflows, indicating that 2018 is off to a strong start for hedge funds in terms of both attracting and retaining assets.”
