Dow Jones Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index Falls
Posted: 07/15/10
By: tomgrisafi
We at Indiana Grain have ready that the Dow Jones Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index posted negative June returns, down 0.84% for the month
Oliver Schupp, President of Credit Suisse Index Co., Inc., said, "The Dow Jones Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index fell 0.84% in June, with five out of ten sectors posting negative performance for the month. Among the top performers for the month were Dedicated Short Bias (+ 5.45%) and Fixed Income Arbitrage (+ 0.92%).
Dedicated Short managers have capitalized on overall negative equity market performance while Fixed Income Arbitrage managers have generated returns by seizing various arbitrage opportunities amid higher market volatility."
Performance for the Broad Index and its ten sub-strategies is calculated monthly.
No funds were added to the Broad Index in June.
The Broad Index is constructed using the Credit Suisse database of more than 5,000 hedge funds. It includes both open and closed funds located in the U.S. and offshore, but does not include fund of funds. In order to qualify for inclusion in the index selection universe, a fund must have a minimum of USD 50 million under management, a 12-month track record, and audited financial statements.

With these uncertain markets even funds don't really have a bearish or bullish side right now they are just getting tossed around like many other traders in the market. We can obviously see this uncertainty by the Credit Suisse index.
