Hedge fund redemptions ticked up in August, according to the latest SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator, which rose to 2.03% from 1.56% in July. The figure, however, remains below the 2.59% recorded in August 2024 and is in line with longer-term averages.
Bill Stone, Chairman and CEO of SS&C Technologies, said the data reflected seasonal patterns but noted that “weakening consumer sentiment, rising fiscal deficits, and higher tariff rates” are continuing to fuel volatility. He added that hedge funds’ “strong risk-adjusted returns” are helping investors navigate the uncertain environment.
The Forward Redemption Indicator measures the total redemption notices received from investors in hedge funds administered by SS&C GlobeOp, expressed as a percentage of assets under administration at the start of the month. Redemption requests have trended significantly lower since peaking at 19.27% in November 2008, SS&C said.
The next update will be published on 22 September 2025.
