"SS&C GlobeOp's Capital Movement Index for August 2019 was 0.38%, reflecting increased net inflows compared to 0.21% net inflows for the same period a year ago," said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies.

"The hedge fund sector's ability to attract and retain assets in the current highly volatile market environment is truly impressive," Stone added.

The SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index is an asset-weighted, independent monthly window on hedge fund performance.

The SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index offers a unique reflection of the return on capital invested in funds. It does not overstate exposure to, or the contribution of, any single strategy to aggregate hedge fund performance.

Since its inception, the correlation of the SS&C GlobeOp Performance Index to many popular equity market indices has been approximately 25% to 30%. This is substantially lower than the equivalent correlation of other widely followed hedge fund performance indices.
