June and First Half 2010 Performance Highlights:
June and First Half 2010 Asset Flow Highlights:
Aggregate hedge fund performance was strong relative to equity markets in June and in the first half of 2010. Although positive returns were more prevalent among fixed income and FX related strategies, long/short equity funds continued to show strong relative returns compared to their equity market benchmarks. Despite the net inflow from investors in the first half, the industry’s growth has trended downward for several months in a row culminating in the first net outflow of 2010 in June. Additionally, the last two months’ performance has likely put a meaningful portion of the industry below their high water marks. HFN’s full June report, to be released in the third week of July, will provide details on high water marks and asset flows by strategy and region. June and 1H 2010 Benchmark Performance:
