Stockholm: (HedgeNordic) – Nordic hedge funds gained an estimated 0.8 % in October on the back of an improved sentiment in risk assets. Year to date, the NHX Composite index is in positive territory; +3.1 %.

Equity and multi-strategy funds were the best performers during the month where equity focused managers benefited from a strong rally in global stock markets. On the negative side, CTAs put in a poor month bringing the NHX CTA index into the red numbers for the year.

For the year, NHX Equities is the best ­performing sub-category followed by NHX Multi-Strategy. On a country-by-country level, Norway is the best performer in 2015. Closely followed by Denmark and Finland.
