Van Hedge Fund Index Lower In July

In common with other hedge fund indicators, Van Global has reported a fall in its Hedge Fund Index for the month of July by 1%.

"July was the toughest month so far this year for equity markets," observed George Van, chairman of Van Hedge Fund advisors International. "That, of course, had some impact on hedge funds, particularly long/short equity strategies."

July’s figure compares to an increase of 0.6%, net of fees, for the index in June. The index remains in positive territory overall for the year, up 1.2%

The Van Hedge Fund Indices were the industry’s first performance benchmarks based on a large and representative sample of hedge fund returns. Initially compiled in 1994 and published in 1995, the Van Indices reflect the average performance of hedge funds back to 1988.

The Van index represents data from more than 300 hedge funds.
