Hedge fund flows as measured by the GlobeOp Capital Movement Index were down 1.17 per cent in July.

"July flows again reflected quarterly re-allocations by investors. While outflows exceeded inflows for the month, the outflow is very much in line with prior quarter ends,” says Hans Hufschmid, chief executive officer, GlobeOp Financial Services.
