Hedge fund inflows hit 12-month high as net subscriptions rise
SS&C GlobeOp said its Capital Movement Index increased 0.92% in August to 132.34, marking the seventh straight month of positive net inflows despite ongoing volatility.
Hedge fund investor flows rose to their highest level in 12 months in August, with net subscriptions continuing to increase even as concerns about inflation, geopolitical risks, and broader market volatility persisted, according to SS&C Technologies data cited by Hedgeweek.
SS&C GlobeOp’s Capital Movement Index climbed 0.92% in August to 132.34, extending a streak of seven consecutive months of positive net inflows. The index is up 5.25 points over the past year, pointing to sustained investor demand for hedge fund strategies.
SS&C Technologies’ chairman and chief executive Bill Stone attributed the elevated volatility to a combination of inflation, geopolitical uncertainty, and a shift in Federal Reserve policy. He said the environment supports maintaining long-term allocations to hedge funds, especially strategies aimed at generating returns with relatively low correlation to traditional asset classes.
The stronger inflows contrasted with weaker performance in July, when the SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index posted a gross return of -2.93% for the month. Hedgeweek noted the performance figure is an initial estimate and that final figures are released over the following two months.
