Here is a quick excerpt from this release:br /blockquoteHedgeFund.net today released early estimates indicating total hedge fundbr /assets fell an additional 5.2% in November to $2.11 trillion largely due to investors redeeming a record $130.04 billion during the month. Hedge fund performance losses slowed in November, but remained negative for the sixth month in a row. The HFN Hedge Fund Aggregate Average, an equal weighted benchmark of all single manager hedge funds and CTA/managed futures products in the HedgeFund.net database, was -0.47% in November and -14.75% YTD. The HedgeFund.net database consists of over 8,600 current hedge fund, fund of funds, and CTA products.br /br /The process of investor redemptions is not immediate and mounting losses during the year may have led to the spike in redemptions in both October and November. The hedge fund industry is in its largest ever drawdown and redemption requests likely exacerbated the situation due to forced selling. Despite record losses, the average hedge fund has significantly outperformed the Samp;P 500 Total Return Index which was -37.66% YTD through November./blockquoteLooking at this same report it looks like the span style=”font-weight: bold;”Top 3 Best Performing Benchmarks:/spanbr /olliShort Bias/liliHealthcare/liliFixed Income (non-arbitrage)/li/olspan style=”font-weight: bold;”Top 3 Worst Performing Hedge Fund Benchmarks:/spanbr /olliDistressed/liliLong Only/liliTechnology/li/olPlease click on the image below to see a full run down on the recent benchmark performance figures.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”(Click Image Below to View Figures)/spanbr /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wM_OZdOMR_Y/ST6_aP44A2I/AAAAAAAACpI/IR4P03izkVQ/s1600-h/Benchmarks.jpg”img style=”margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 242px;” src=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wM_OZdOMR_Y/ST6_aP44A2I/AAAAAAAACpI/IR4P03izkVQ/s400/Benchmarks.jpg” alt=”" id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277866270987387746″ border=”0″ //abr /h4Related to Hedge Fund Benchmark Performance Updatebr //h4ullia href=”http://richard-wilson.blogspot.com/2008/04/hedge-fund-videos.html”Over 100 Free Online Hedge Fund Videos/a/lilia description=”Hedge Fund Employment, Hedge Funds Employment Openings, Employment at Hedge Funds, Careers amp; Employment at a Hedge Fund, Hedge Fund Employment Opportunities” alt=”Hedge Fund Employment” href=”http://richard-wilson.blogspot.com/2008/05/hedge-fund-employment.html” title=”Enhance your Hedge Fund Career”Careers amp; Employment Guide /a/lilia alt=”Hedge Funds and Investment Securities” managers=”" securities=”" and=”" investment=”" fund=”" description=”" holding=”" title=”Investment Securities Holdings” of=”" hedge=”" href=”http://richard-wilson.blogspot.com/2008/09/investment-securities-and-holdings-of.html”Hedge Fund Holdings amp; Securities Analysis/a/lilia href=”http://richard-wilson.blogspot.com/2008/03/hedge-fund-terms.html”Hedge Fund Terminology/abr //lilia alt=”Geographical Guide to the Hedge Fund Industry, International Hedge Fund Guide” href=”http://richard-wilson.blogspot.com/2008/08/geographical-guide-to-hedge-funds.html” title=”Learn About Hedge Funds in over 200 Geographical Regions”Geographical Guides/a/lilia description=”A collection of tools for hedge fund startups” alt=”Hedge Fund Startup Tools” href=”http://richard-wilson.blogspot.com/2008/09/hedge-fund-startup-tools-1-page-guide.html” title=”Hedge Fund Startup Tools”Hedge Fund Startup Tools/a/li/ulTags: Hedge Fund Performance Figures, Hedge Fund Benchmarks, Hedge Fund Benchmark Performance, Performance of hedge fund benchmarks, benchmark performance numbersdiv class=”feedflare”
