Hedge funds gain 3.74% in April, capital flows extend positive streak in May

Thursday, May 14, 2026

Matthias Knab, Opalesque:

Hedge funds delivered another solid month of gross returns in April 2026 and continued to attract fresh capital in May, according to the latest readings from SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSNC).

The SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index recorded a gross return of 3.74% for April 2026, while the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index advanced 0.72% in May - extending what the firm characterized as a sustained run of positive net inflows into the asset class.

Volatility backdrop seen as supportive

"SS&C GlobeOp's May 2026 Capital Movement Index was 0.72%, continuing a trend of positive inflows," said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SS&C Technologies.

Recent fund flow data suggest hedge funds remain an attractive option for investors seeking uncorrelated returns and downside protection."

Cumulatively, the Capital Movement Index for May 2026 stands at 130.49 points, up 0.72 points from April 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, the Index has advanced 4.70 points.

The next publication date is June 11, 2026.
