GlobeOp: Redemption Indicator/ Hedge Fund Performance Index:


The GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator for June 2012 measured 3.71%, up from 3.31% in May.

“The June Forward Redemption Indicator is surprisingly low given that it is dominated by July redemptions, a traditionally large month for fund withdrawals,” said Hans Hufschmid, chief executive officer, GlobeOp Financial Services.

The Indicator represents the sum of forward redemption notices received from investors in hedge funds administered by GlobeOp, divided by the AuA at the beginning of the month for GlobeOp fund administration clients. Forward redemptions as a percentage of GlobeOp assets under administration have trended significantly lower since reaching a high of 19.27% in November 2008

GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index for May 2012 measured 0.43%.

  • Current month flash estimate 0.43%*
  • Year-to-date (YTD) performance 4.15%*
  • Last 12 month (LTM) performance 2.25%*
  • Live to date (LTD) performance 65.31%*

*All numbers reported above are gross

The GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index is an asset-weighted, independent monthly window on hedge fund performance. On the 10th business day of each month it provides a flash estimate of the gross aggregate performance of funds for which GlobeOp provides monthly administration services. Interim and final values, both gross and net, are provided in each of the two following months, respectively. Online data can be segmented by gross and net performance, and by time periods. The GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index is transparent, consistent in data processing, and free from selection or survivorship bias. Its inception date is January 1, 2006.

The GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index offers a unique reflection of the return on capital invested in funds. It does not overstate exposure to, or the contribution of, any single strategy to aggregate hedge fund performance. Since its inception, the correlation of the GlobeOp Performance Index to many popular equity market indices has been approximately 25% to 30%. This is substantially lower than the equivalent correlation of other widely followed hedge fund performance indices.
