Building on its legacy of global leadership and innovation in the indexation, analysis and research of the global hedge fund industry, HFR's strategy expansion offers granular insights into the unique and specific investment strategies available for investment in the exciting and rapidly evolving Cryptocurrency and Blockchain space. Over the five-year period ending February 2025, the HFR Cryptocurrency Index (Ticker: HFRBCC) has produced a stratospheric annualized return of +51.4 percent and an astounding cumulative gain of +694.6 percent, with annualized volatility of 59.5 percent.

In the same way HFR pioneered the standard strategy and sub-strategy benchmarks against which all hedge funds are now measured, we are bringing that same level of specificity and granularity to the fast-moving and ever-evolving crypto hedge fund universe," stated Kenneth J. Heinz, President of HFR. "HFR was a leader in this space with our first crypto index launch in 2017 and has continued to build its leadership position by enabling investors and hedge fund managers to build more valuable peer groups and conduct more focused investment research on funds that specialize in this area."
