The gross return of the SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index for March 2016 measured 0.90 per cent, while hedge fund flows as measured by the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index declined 0.95 per cent in April.

“Reflecting typical seasonal patterns, SS&C GlobeOp’s Capital Movement Index declined in April 2016, coming in at -0.95 per cent, compared to 0.75 per cent for March 2016. However, it should be noted that the -0.95 per cent for April 2016 compares favorably on a year-over-year basis to -1.20 per cent for April of 2015,” says Bill Stone (pictured), Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. “In particular, the year-over-year comparison was marked by relatively lower outflows this past month, the ninth consecutive month of lower outflows on a year-over-year basis. 

“This indicates investors have remained committed to their hedge fund allocations during a period of generally increased market volatility.”
