Managed Futures Funds Lead Investable Index Rebound in April

Results were positive across all strategies for the Greenwich Investable Indices in April, driven by strong equity markets. The monthly redemption Composite Index advanced by 1.28% while the quarterly exit Index gained 1.30%. Directional strategies were the best performers as Managed Futures funds gained more than 4%. The Greenwich Long-Short Equity Investable Index also advanced by 1.39% compared to a 2.96% advance in the S&P 500 Total Return Index. Market Neutral strategies continued a successful year as the Arbitrage and Equity Market Neutral Indices gained 0.86% and 0.43%, respectively.

“Despite a guarded approach to mitigating market volatility, most hedge fund strategies continue to capture the majority of upside moves. As expected, Directional strategies were most successful in April although year-to-date figures present a strong case for both absolute return and more market-sensitive strategies in the context of a diversified hedge fund portfolio,” said Clint Binkley, Senior Vice President.
