The hedge funds that we are capturing in the database are doing reasonable well, due to our focus on CTAs and other liquid strategies. The estimated MTD performance for Hedge Funds (excluding Crypto Trading Strategies) is -1.9% taking the YTD number to -0.4%.The estimated MTD performance for CTAs is -0.2% taking the YTD number to 7.1%. This estimate does of course exclude the Crypto Warriors that we have taken a bit of a beating in 2022.
These estimates do not include funds that have stopped reporting. For additional data and return measures, we would like to direct you to the NilssonHedge indices at https://nilssonhedge.com/index/.
We note that almost all CTAs are positive YTD, regardless of style, but that Trend Following strategies are ahead of the pack.
Over the last three calendar months, we have added 106 new strategies to the database.

After running the largest free hedge fund database freely accessible, we will gradually move away from a free service during the coming quarter, where most of our database will only be available on a subscription basis. Index data will remain free, and we will be generous towards researchers and smaller investors.
