Unlike asset-weighting utilized by some other indices, the equal-weighting of the HCN presents a more general picture of performance of the hedge fund industry. By weighting all funds equally, this helps to reduce any bias toward the larger funds potentially created by alternative weightings, especially for strategies that encompass a small number of funds.<\/p>\n<p>Funds included in the HCN Monthly Indices must:<br \/>\nReport monthly returns<br \/>\nReport Returns Net of All Fees<br \/>\nReport assets in USD<\/p>\n<p>Indices Notes:<br \/>\nAll HCN Indices are equally weighted (not based on AUM size).<br \/>\n&#8220;Bad Assets&#8221; (ie. Funds which do not report their AUM) are not included in the HCN.<br \/>\nThe HCN Indices are made &#8220;official&#8221; on the fifteenth of the month.<br \/>\nBoth domestic and offshore funds are included in the HCN Indices.<\/p>\n<p>Contact information:<br \/>\nIndex Inquiries: Trevor Zeh<br \/>\nEmail: trevor@hedgeco.net<br \/>\nPhone: 561 835 8690<\/p>\n<p>News &amp; PR: Alex Akesson, Editor for HedgeCo.net.<br \/>\nEmail: alex@hedgeco.net<br \/>\nPhone: (561) 578 4435<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York &#8211; (HedgeCo.Net) \u2013 [UPDATED] The HedgeCo.Net Hedge Fund Aggregate Index showed an average annual return of 1.09% through July 2012.
