Opalesque Industry Update - The Scotiabank Canadian Hedge Fund Index ended April 2013 down 1.80% (0.14% YTD) on an asset weighted basis and fell 0.70% (-0.70% YTD) on an equal weighted basis. The aim of the Scotiabank Canadian Hedge Fund Index is to provide a comprehensive overview of the Canadian Hedge Fund universe. To achieve this, index returns are calculated using both an equal weighting and an asset-based weighting of the funds. The index includes both open and closed funds with a minimum AUM of C$15 million and at least a 12 month track record of returns, managed by Canadian-domiciled hedge fund managers. Bg |
