Latest figures show hedge funds outperformed global markets by 7.7% in September

Turbulent conditions and declining equity markets brought with them another month of negative returns for hedge funds in September. The Eurekahedge Hedge Fund Index was down 2.30%  for the month, though it should be noted that the MSCI World Index fell nearly 10% during the same period. More than one-third of all the hedge funds that have reported to the Eurekahedge database for September were in positive territory for the month.

Key highlights for September:
  • Hedge funds outperformed global markets by nearly 7.7% in September
  • Early reports indicate negative net flows to hedge funds for the first time since November 2010
  • CTA/managed futures funds witness 12th consecutive month of net positive asset flow
