TrimTabs and BarclayHedge Report Hedge Funds Gain $5.1 billion in August 2012; Assets Down 28.7% Since Peak
New York, NY – October 11, 2012 – BarclayHedge and TrimTabs Investment Research reported today that the hedge fund industry took in $5.1 billion (0.3% of assets) in August, reversing a $9.2 billion outflow (0.5% of assets) in July. Based on data from 2,999 funds, the TrimTabs/ BarclayHedge Hedge Fund Flow Report estimated that industry assets stood at $1.7 trillion in August, down 28.7% from their June 2008 peak of $2.4 trillion.
“The inflows we saw in August could not mask the troubles facing the hedge fund industry this year,” said Sol Waksman, founder and president of BarclayHedge. “While the industry had inflows in four of the first eight months of 2012, much stronger outflows in the other four months yielded net redemptions of $13.2 billion (2.0% of assets) year to date.”

Revisiting Kat's Managed Futures and Hedge Funds: A Match Made in Heaven
By Thomas N. Rollinger, Director of New Strategies Development, Sunrise Capital Partners
The research extends the time period of Kat’s original work to include a highly volatile period with separate stock market drawdowns of 36% and 56%, and still found that managed futures were better diversifiers than hedge funds; that they reduced the portfolio's volatility to a greater degree and more quickly than did hedge funds, and without the undesirable side effects of increased tail risk.
