New York (HedgeCo.Net) BarclayHedge and TrimTabs Investment Research reported today that the hedge fund industry took in $950 million (0.04% of assets) in April, reversing March\u2019s outflow of $750 million (0.03% of assets).<\/p>\n
\u201cInvestors have been showing less interest in hedge funds even though the industry\u2019s performance has improved lately,\u201d said Sol Waksman, president and founder of BarclayHedge. \u201cHedge funds redeemed $13.8 billion in the first four months of 2015, a strong turnabout from the same period last year, when they hauled in $65.6 billion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hedge fund industry assets edged down to $2.49 trillion in April from $2.50 trillion the month before, BarclayHedge estimated based on data from 3,569 funds.<\/p>\n
The monthly TrimTabs\/BarclayHedge Hedge Fund Flow Report noted that the hedge fund industry gained 1.1% in April and outperformed the S&P 500, which rose 0.9% for the month.<\/p>\n
\u201cEmerging Markets funds rose 5.0% in April, the best returns among the thirteen categories we track,\u201d said Waksman. \u201cMulti-Strategy funds had the strongest inflows in April, taking in $2.5 billion.\u201d<\/p>\n
The latest TrimTabs\/BarclayHedge Hedge Fund Sentiment Survey finds hedge fund managers turned more bullish on the S&P 500 in May, though neutral sentiment hit an eight-month high. The monthly survey finds mounting pessimism on U.S. Treasuries, the U.S. Dollar Index, and Emerging Markets. Bearishness on crude oil hit a two-year high, with more than three-quarters of respondents predicting oil prices will decline or level off in the next six months.<\/p>\n
The TrimTabs\/BarclayHedge database tracks hedge fund flows on a monthly basis. The TrimTabs\/BarclayHedge Survey of Hedge Fund Managers appears monthly, as does the TrimTabs\/BarclayHedge Hedge Fund Flow Report, which provides detailed analysis of hedge fund flows, assets, and returns.
