The findings from Citco's H1 2021 Fund of Hedge Fund Update highlight that capital is once again flowing into the sector, with Citco-administered funds generating approximately $2.5B in net capital flows. Although performance for the six months to June was at a more modest pace than the previous cycle, funds returned an average of 4.2% with a median return of 4.3%.

Larger portfolios with greater diversification fared better in the period than smaller and more concentrated funds. Funds over $1B were up 5.1% and funds with over 50 underlying fund holdings returned 5.7% in the first six months of the year. The vast majority of funds delivered positive returns with 92% showing a positive performance in the period.
