This was due to a very strong start into the month, as after the first week of trading the broad index was up +0.75% already.<\/p>\n<p>Things slowed down after that with most sub-strategies being nearly flat in week two resulting in gains of +0.03% only. Although week three saw more movement the result of the broad index was a rather moderate +0.13%. It were the political uncertainties in week four though that mixed up things, but the loss of -0.52% was still not dramatic enough to turn the UCITS Hedge Fund Strategy\u00a0Index negative from a monthly perspective.<\/p>\n<p>From a sub-strategy perspective the top performers were Convertible (+1.40%), Multi Strategy (+1.09%), Credit and CTA (both +0.78%). Out of the eleven sub-strategies only two returned negative results: Currency lost -0.10% and Arbitrage -0.03%. While the former only turned negative in the last week of trading the latter was negative the first three weeks in February and was the only strategy to return a positive result in the last week of February.<\/p>\n<p>From all funds tracked in the broad UCITS Hedge Fund Strategy\u00a0Index 70.09% were positive this month. Although 2011 is still young it looks like it could be a good year for Convertible which accumulated +2.80% in 2011 so far. The broad UCITS Hedge Fund Strategy\u00a0Index now stands at +0.11% year to date.<\/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.
