Correlation/Beta for hedge fund indices against global markets. We calculate short-term beta measures for CTA, Equity Long/Short, Market Neutral, Event-Driven, and Crypto Strategies against Equities, Bonds, Bitcoins, Currencies, Energies, and Precious Metals.
Factor Exposure – A monthly updated report on factor exposure and residual alpha, across the more than 4,000 different strategies in the database. We find that certain styles and strategies have consistently underperformed, while others have delivered next to no alpha across time.
Dispersion – Dispersion is a way to characterize the shape of the distributions of returns. Here, we measure dispersion using the upper and lower quartiles (25th and 75th percentile) as an indication of how much funds selection matters contra strategy selection. 50% of the funds should be within the shaded area.
Hall of Fame – We present the best-performing fund per year, as they exist in the database. Crypto, CTA, Equity Long/Short, Event-Driven, Market Neutral are the current categories.
