“Investors pulled a net $1.52 billion from the $2.9 trillion industry in the fourth quarter of last year, Chicago-based Hedge Fund Research said Wednesday. The typical hedge fund lost 1 percent in 2015, even after rising 0.8 percent in the fourth quarter, according to the firm’s HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index. Investors are ‘looking for strategies that will help preserve capital’ in a volatile market environment, Hedge Fund Research president Ken Heinz said at a press briefing in London. ‘They are positioning for anything but the S&P 500 Index making 30 percent in 2016.'”
