The HFRX India Index surged +19.05 percent in 1Q, its strongest quarterly gain since 2Q09, and topping Indian equity performance, as measured by the BSE Sensex 30 Index, by 780 basis points, leading all HFR indices for the quarter. Despite the strong performance, total capital invested in Asian-focused hedge funds increased only slightly due to an investor net outflow of $3.2 billion, ending the quarter at $110.43 billion.

The Children's Investment Fund jumped 10.7% in the first quarter; South African equity-centric hedge funds returned modest gains in the first quarter of the year; BlueGold Global Fund management is struggling with an -11.6% loss YTD as of March and is in the middle of the worst drawdown in the life of the fund; and Marcato Capital Management has gained 6% in the first four months of 2016.
