Hedge Funds Decline In June As Equities Complete Worst 1H In Half Century - HFRI 500 Macro Advances In June, Surges +14.2 Percent In 1H22 - HFRI Asset Weighted Composite Gains +1.6 Percent In 1H22 As Larger Funds Outperform - abrdn Launches HFRI 500 Index Tracking Fund

Date 08/07/2022

Hedge funds declined in June as equity markets extended steep YTD losses, with equities completing the worst first half of a calendar year in over 50 years, volatility accelerated across global equity, bonds and commodity markets, and investors positioned for the US economy to enter recession as a result of generational inflation. The investable HFRI 500 Fund Weighted Composite Index declined -2.6 percent for the month, the largest decline since March 2020, as gains in quantitative, trend-following CTA and market neutral equity strategies were offset by declines in the highest beta equity and fixed income strategies, according to data released today by HFR®, the established global leader in the indexation, analysis and research of the global hedge fund industry. Larger, more established hedge funds outperformed smaller hedge funds in both June and YTD 2022, as the HFRI Asset Weighted Composite Index (which has the same constituents as the equal-weighted version) fell only -0.9 percent for the month and has gained +1.55 percent through mid-year 2022.

Statement On The Order Granting Temporary Conditional Exemptive Relief From Certain Requirements Of The National Market System Plan Governing The Consolidated Audit Trail, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, July 8, 2022

Date 08/07/2022

I support granting temporary exemptive relief for certain provisions of the consolidated audit trail (“CAT”). The CAT, a project designed to give the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulators comprehensive market insight, has proved much harder and more expensive to implement than anyone anticipated. I have grave concerns about the whole project. The dollars, distraction, dissension, and drain of endless meetings over the past several years of CAT implementation are reasons enough to reconsider the entire project; the risks to liberty and security posed by the project should compel us to do so.
