The gross return of the SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index for November 2015 measured 0.21 per cent. Hedge fund flows meanwhile, as measured by the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index, advanced 0.83 per cent in December.
"SS&C GlobeOp's Capital Movement Index of 0.83 per cent for December 2015 was closely in line with the previous 0.89 per cent for November 2015, a strong result when seasonality is considered," says Bill Stone (pictured), Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. "In fact, December of 2015 was actually the largest gain for the Index in the month of December since 2011. This favourable reading continues the trend of recent months, indicating that the hedge fund industry is benefitting from heightened market volatility."
