Matthias Knab, Opalesque: The hedge fund business turned around eight consecutive months of aggregate outflows in November, with investors allocating +$4.45 billion to the industry, according to the just-released November 2019 eVestment Hedge Fund Asset Flows Report. November's asset inflows and performance gains brought overall hedge fund industry AUM to $3.285 trillion, according to the new report.
November's inflows will ease industry fears that hedge fund outflows would match or surpass the $112 billion that was pulled from the industry in 2016, but the November 2019 year to date (YTD) outflows of $81.53 billion are not inconsequential.
Among primary hedge fund strategies, Directional Credit funds were the top asset winners in November, pulling in an additional +$2.59 billion. These funds have been on an asset losing trend however, with YTD asset flows of -$6.99 billion, which is unlikely to be turned around by whatever December brings.
