Despite negative returns, hedge funds appear to have outperformed global equity markets, as represented by the MSCI World Index, which lost -9.91% in May and is down 7.59% year-to-date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>LAB is a series of indices that seek to replicate the aggregate return profiles of alternative investment strategies using liquid, tradable instruments that are selected and weighted using an objective and transparent rules-based methodology. An algorithm determines the appropriate factors and weightings employed in seeking to replicate the returns of specific hedge fund strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Editing by Alex Akesson<br \/>\nFor <a title=\"hedge funds\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">HedgeCo.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:alex@hedgeco.net\">alex@hedgeco.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"hedge fund\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">HedgeCo.Net<\/a> is a premier <a title=\"hedge fund database\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">hedge fund database<\/a> and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
