Opalesque Industry Update - Hedge funds were down -0.52% in October, masking a sizable performance spread among the constituent strategies. A combination of the U.S. election cycle, oil production caps, weak Chinese trade data, the specter of rising interest rates, and a scare over the future of Deutsche Bank weighed on global equity markets, as represented by the -2.01% return of the MSCI World Equity Index. Bond markets experienced their worst month since mid-2015 as fixed income traders began to bake in expected rate hikes by the world’s central banks.
