Performance Preview

CTA looks likely to be the winner amongst the Hedge Fund strategies that we track. CTAs continued to enjoy strong trends in equity and commodity markets and are now back on new highs, after a moderate drawdown. The result for October looks to be between 2-3% on average, taking the YTD result north of 7%. Equity Long-Short looks to be the runner-up with a 2% return but remains the leader for the year. Cryptos are of course in a league of their own, with a 30% month.
