Opalesque Industry Update - Hedge fund redemptions slowed somewhat in April 2022 though the trend continued, reports BarclayHedge's latest Fund Flow Indicator. The month's outflows totalled $22.40 billion, 0.44% of industry assets, a reduction from the $35.37 billion in outflows the industry experienced in March. A $131.83 billion trading loss during the month brought total hedge fund industry assets to nearly $5.11 trillion as April ended. Recession fears amid the Fed's so far unsuccessful attempts to control U.S. inflation brought further anxiety to investors already dealing with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, volatile equity markets, rising interest rates, soaring food and energy prices and slowing economies. Trading losses hit many hedge fund subsectors, and a clear majority of subsectors saw net redemptions in April. For the 12 months through April the global hedge fund industry experienced $87.21 billion in inflows. A $211.06 billion trading loss over the period brought total industry assets to $5.11 trillion figure as April ended, down from $5.14 trillion at the end of March but up from $4.27 trillion a year earlier.
