From a sub-strategy perspective eight of the twelve sub-strategies reported positive results in November, the best performing being CTA (1.15%), L/S Equity (1.19%) and Event Driven (0.51%). While the later only posted slight losses in the third week of trading, L/S Equity and CTA both had to take losses in the first week. Both recovered quickly though, adding most of their gains in the last week of the month. The three worst performing strategies were Commodity (-0.52%), Fixed Income (-0.39%) and Convertible (-0.08%). All three strategies took their biggest losses in the first week of November. Although all strategies had one positive weekly performance, it was not enough to impact the negative monthly result. Commodity stays the worst performing strategy in 2013 (-4.20%), while CTA and Currency turned positive for 2013. From a year to date perspective the broad UCITS HFS Index now stands at 3.01% in 2013.
