Managed Futures/CTAs was by far the best performing sub-strategy adding 3.8 % to bring year-to-date performance to 6 %. Profits in currencies, interest rates and precious metals had a positive contribution for the strategy. Fixed income also managed to stay above water during the market turmoil while equity hedge funds, fund-of-funds and multi-strategy funds posted losses.
