Beyond the benchmarks
The indices are one expression of a larger body of research — coverage spanning thousands of funds and $3T+ in assets, sourced directly from managers, point-in-time, and free of survivorship and backfill bias. The same data and analytics behind the benchmarks are available to clients.
Source, evaluate and monitor managers against the right peer set — built from data straight from the source, not a pay-to-play approved list.
Strategy and sub-strategy indices, on the Bloomberg Terminal and free to the public — accurate enough that allocators use them to judge managers in context.
Decompose returns into true alpha versus factor and market beta, so you know exactly what you are paying a manager for.
Compare managers across strategies, exposures and market regimes to find who is genuinely differentiated and who is riding beta.
Build and stress-test hedge fund allocations using unbiased, institutionally relevant data rather than self-reported marketing numbers.
For managers: show prospective allocators exactly where you stand with anonymized distributional analysis against your real peer set.
Monthly performance reports and intel that contextualise the numbers and surface the trends shaping the industry.
Our curated index library is open to everyone: current values, full history and methodology, with the raw series downloadable as CSV.
