SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator: December notifications 4.86%

WINDSOR, Conn., Dec. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator for December 2018 measured 4.86%, up from 3.96% in November.

"SS&C GlobeOp's Forward Redemption Indicator for December 2018 was 4.86%, a year-over-year increase from the 4.18% reported a year ago for December 2017," said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. "It is important to note with respect to this month's indicator that December typically produces seasonally high redemptions.  Additionally, we note the December 2018 reading of 4.86%, while increased from the same period a year ago, is well below the five-year and since-inception averages for the month of December. In light of recent market volatility, we are closely watching redemptions and other key data points, but this month's results should be viewed as consistent with favorable asset retention by the hedge fund sector."

The SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator represents the sum of forward redemption notices received from investors in hedge funds administered by SS&C GlobeOp on the SS&C GlobeOp platform, divided by the AuA at the beginning of the month for SS&C GlobeOp fund administration clients on the SS&C GlobeOp platform. Forward redemptions as a percentage of SS&C GlobeOp's assets under administration on the SS&C GlobeOp platform have trended significantly lower since reaching a high of 19.27% in November 2008. The next publication date is January 23, 2019.

Published on the 15th business day of the month, the SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator presents a timely and accurate view of the redemption pipeline for investors in hedge funds on the SS&C GlobeOp administration platform. Movements in the Indicator reflect investor confidence in their allocations to hedge funds. Indicator data is based on actual investor redemption notifications received. Unlike subscriptions, redemption notifications are typically received 30-90 days in advance of the redemption date. Investors may, and sometimes do, cancel redemption notices. In addition, the establishment and enforcement of redemption notices may vary from fund to fund.
