OREANDA-NEWS. The gross return of the SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index for August 2016 measured 0.73%. 

Hedge fund flows as measured by the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index advanced 0.38% in September.

"SS&C GlobeOp's Capital Movement Index showed a gain of 0.38% for September 2016. This was a slightly smaller gain than the same period last year when the index rose 0.62%," said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies.

This subdued capital activity points to overall stability in the hedge fund sector, even as markets seem to be reflecting increased uncertainty in the economy."
