\"\"<\/a>New York (HedgeCo.net) – Hedge funds were negatively impacted by broad market sell-offs in August, although certain sectors showed resilience amid the increased market volatility according to Jordan Drachman, Head of Research for Alternative Beta Strategies at Credit Suisse.<\/p>\n

“While the Credit Suisse Liquid Alternative Beta Index (“LAB Index”) was down 1.14% in August, it outperformed the MSCI World, which fell 4.03%.” Dr. Drachman said, “Helping to minimize the losses of the LAB Index was the Global Macro Liquid Index, which posted slight gains of 0.69% for the month.<\/p>\n

“Despite the month’s negative returns, LAB remains largely positive year-to-date with three of the four LAB sector indices posting gains. The LAB Merger Arbitrage Index remains the best performing sector with year-to-date gains of 5.57% as a result of the recent increase in M&A activity.” Dr Drachman concluded.<\/p>\n
