    Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – Nordic CTAs gained 1.9 percent on average last month (94 percent reported), booking the group’s best monthly performance since the beginning of 2018. After gaining 2.4 percent in the first six months of 2019, Nordic CTAs registered the second best first half-year performance since 2008.

    The NHX CTA, which comprises 18 index constituents, performed broadly in line with the most commonly used indices in the managed futures space. The SG CTA Index, designed to represent the performance of the 20 largest CTA programs, was up 2.4 percent in June. The SG CTA Index, which includes three members of the Nordic Hedge Index, gained 4.7 percent in the first half of 2019. The Barclay BTOP50 Index, which seeks to reflect the performance of a group of CTAs that make up more than 50 percent of all assets in the managed futures space, advanced 2.0 percent in June, bringing the return for the first half of the year to 5.2 percent. The broader Barclay CTA Index, which includes more than 500 CTAs, was up 1.4 percent last month and gained 3.7 percent in the first six months of 2019.

    After a weak start to the year, RPM Evolving CTA Fund registered a fourth consecutive month of positive performance.
