Global Macro funds achieved a weighted average return of 5.6% - with
some strong outliers boosting the overall total - and were followed by
equity strategies at 2.6%, and multi-strategy funds at 0.9%.
Commodities strategies were next, with a weighted average return of
0.8%, and fixed income arbitrage came in at 0.7%. Event driven funds
reversed some of their recent negative performance with a 0.4%
weighted average return.
