New York (HedgeCo.net) \u2013 With global equity markets struggling mightily in 2016, the hedge fund industry as a whole has gotten off to a tough start this year. However, there are some funds and fund strategies that are bucking the trend.<\/p>\n
According to a recent report from HSBC, the average managed futures fund tracked by the firm is up 4.17% so far in 2016. Many managed futures funds employ a trend following system and use computer algorithms to make the investment decisions. With the trend for many asset classes being to the downside, the computer-driven models seem to be working the best.<\/p>\n
