Alternative investments have exhibited lacklustre performance during the first weeks of 2005, recording an overall decline of more than 0.2% during January, according to calculations by industry tracker CogentHedge.
With two-thirds of all registered alternative investments in the firm’s database reporting results for the month, 58% of the 2550 reporting entities are showing gains for the month. However, CogentHedge has revealed that the overall number of relatively large monthly declines pulled down the average for all alternative investments to a loss of -0.21%.
Returns for individual investment sub-strategies ranged from a high of 4.3% for opportunistic trading strategies to an average monthly loss of 4.23% for all futures strategies.
The largest monthly gain in January was 25%, while the largest loss was nearly 30%, CogentHedge reported.
