A new monthly commentary offers insight into hedge fund performance through the month of October.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some key findings from the report include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Equity and credit based strategies such as long\/short equity, emerging markets, event driven, and distressed were some of the top performers in October. However, the strategies remain in negative territory year-to-date;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Tactical trading managers showed a bifurcation in performance as global macro managers posted positive performance while, on the purely systematic side, managed futures funds posted negative performance, largely due to losses from trend-following models; and<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>On the relative value front, fixed income arbitrage managers posted a small gain despite the volatile interest-rate environment while convertible arbitrage and multi-strategy managers benefited in part from their equity and credit components.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Morningstar also reported preliminary hedge fund performance for October 2011 as well as\u00a0asset flows through September. The Morningstar MSCI Composite Hedge Fund Index, an asset-weighted\u00a0composite of nearly 1,000 hedge funds in the Morningstar database, rose 1.1% for the month of October,\u00a0significantly lower than the MSCI World NR Stock Index&#8217;s surge of 10.3%.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Though most strategies posted positive figures in October, hedge funds overall failed to fully participate in\u00a0the equity market\u2019s massive rebound in October,&#8221; said Josh Charney, alternative investments analyst at\u00a0Morningstar. &#8220;The abruptness of the market\u2019s reversal, coupled with lingering bearish sentiment, likely\u00a0caught some defensively positioned managers off guard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Editing by\u00a0Alex 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.
