Index Calculation
Index Methodology
The UCITS HFS Index universe consists of all UCITS III compliant funds that apply strategies normally used in hedge funds (also know as absolute return strategies) and have more than EUR 10 million of assets under management, offer at least weekly liquidity and have reported numbers for more than one month. Index tracking funds, long-only and 130/30 strategies are excluded. The index is equally weighted, is adjusted on a quarterly basis and publishes monthly values as well as indicative values on each friday of each month. For detailed information please have a look at the Index Guideline.
