West Palm Beach (HedgeCo.net) – Long\/Short Equity hedge funds returned positive performance in August mainly as a result of the continued uptrend in equity markets, according to Jordan Drachman, Head of Research for Alternative Beta Strategies at Credit Suisse.<\/p>\n
“Following a strong rally in July, equity markets continued their upward trend in August, reaching highs not achieved since October 2008.” Dr. Drachman noted, “Long\/Short Equity hedge fund managers continued to increase their overall net exposures in order to benefit from market gains. Despite brief corrections due to a mid-month weak consumer sentiment report, managers were able to finish up for the month. The Credit Suisse Long\/Short Equity Replication Index (\u201cAIR Long\/Short Equity Index\u201d) was up 1.55% (net) for the month, while the Credit Suisse Global Macro Replication Index (\u201cAIR Global Macro Index\u201d) finished up 0.08% (net) over the same period.”<\/p>\n
AIR Indices seek to replicate the performance of major hedge fund strategies and enable investors to gain liquid, transparent insight into the Global Macro and Long\/Short Equity sectors of the Credit Suisse\/Tremont Hedge Fund Index. The AIR platform also offers inverse indices that seek to approximate short exposure to the aggregate returns of the universe of Long\/Short Equity and Global Macro hedge fund managers.<\/p>\n
Performances for the AIR Global Macro and Long\/Short Equity Indices are calculated daily and shown net of a 1.15% per annum calculation fee.<\/p>\n
