The quarter followed a 12.3% gain in the second quarter, the strongest of the decade, and 53% of funds still finished the third quarter in positive territory. Year-to-date weighted average returns stood at 10.5% through September.<\/p>\n<p>Dispersion by strategy was wide. Commodities funds led with an 11.9% quarterly gain and global macro returned 3.1%, the only major strategies in the black. Event-driven funds lost 3.8%, multi-strategy funds fell 1.4%, fixed income arbitrage declined 1.1% and equity strategies lost 1%. Year to date, global macro leads at 26.4%, followed by commodities at 14.3% and equities at 12.2%, while event driven is the only strategy in negative territory at minus 1.7%.<\/p>\n<p>Flows did not follow the quarter&#8217;s performance. Multi-strategy funds took the largest share of new money at $15.4 billion, followed by hybrid funds at $12.3 billion and funds of funds at $5.7 billion. Third-quarter inflows came after $39.1 billion in the second quarter, bringing the year-to-date total to well over $100 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Size continued to matter. Funds with more than $10 billion under administration attracted $24.9 billion of the quarter&#8217;s net inflows, and the largest managers remain ahead for the year with a weighted average return of 13.4%. Managers with $1 billion to $3 billion recorded the steepest quarterly decline at 2.1%. By region, the Americas accounted for $20.8 billion of allocations, Europe $13.8 billion and Asia $1.4 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The data suggests allocators are buying diversification and platform scale rather than chasing the quarter&#8217;s winners. Multi-strategy funds drew the most capital despite a loss, while the strategies that actually made money, macro and commodities, captured a smaller share, a gap worth watching if fourth-quarter volatility persists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HedgeCo.Net \u2014 Hedge funds administered by Citco attracted $36 billion of net inflows in the third quarter of 2026 even as they posted a weighted average return of minus 0.7%, accor\u2026 <a class=\"continue_reading_link btn btn-mini\" href=\"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/10\/2026\/hedge-funds-drew-36-billion-of-net-inflows-in-the-third-quarter-despite-a-0-7-loss-citco-data-showed.html\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":92407,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16044],"tags":[17138,207,5465,17048,4526,17139],"class_list":["post-92408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hedge-fund-strategies-2","tag-citco","tag-commodities","tag-global-macro","tag-hedge-fund-flows","tag-hedge-fund-performance","tag-multi-strategy-funds"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
