With some 1,600 strategies, we note that the events unfolding in Ukraine have had a limited impact on Hedge Funds returns. For February, we note that the largest spread of returns took place in Cryptos, but other strategies had a relatively low dispersion.
We also observe that since the inception of our Daily Indices, CTAs have now caught up with Equity Long/Short Strategies. Who would have believed that?
The estimated MTD performance for Hedge Funds (including Crypto Trading Strategies) is 3.0% taking the YTD number to -5.8%. The estimated MTD performance for Hedge Funds (excluding Crypto Trading Strategies) is -0.4% taking the YTD number to -1.1%. The estimated MTD performance for CTAs is 1.4% taking the YTD number to 1.0%.
We note that this is an estimate for reporting funds and that better-performing funds typically report early. These estimates do not include funds that have stopped reporting. For the survivorship adjusted number, we would like to direct you to the NilssonHedge indices.
In terms of CTAs, it seems as if Trend Following traders are outperforming other styles. This is largely driven by Commodity Exposure.
