Among the top performing hedge fund sectors for the month were Managed Futures (+4.87%) and Global Macro (+1.48%), which benefited from long fixed income positions and relatively low exposure to equity markets. Equity Market Neutral and Long\/Short Equity posted the worst performance this month, finishing down -1.55% and -1.12% respectively.&#8221; Schupp concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Performance for the Broad Index and its ten sub-strategies is calculated monthly.
