The SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator for October 2018 measured 2.66, down from 3.35 per cent in September.

“SS&C GlobeOp’s Forward Redemption Indicator for October 2018 was 2.66 per cent, a small improvement from the 2.69 per cent reported a year ago, and well below the long-term historical average for the calendar month of October,” says Bill Stone (pictured), Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. “The favourable trend we’ve observed in redemptions has continued through recent months’ market volatility. Investors clearly believe hedge fund managers are well-positioned to earn attractive returns in this environment.”
