Opalesque Industry Update - Decent finish for the Lyxor Hedge Fund Indices, up 1.15% in December and closing the year up +7.0%. 2013, the year of monetary policy players, crowned one winning bet: Long Equity in developed countries and Short both gold and rates. Neutral on all other asset classes. >> Unsurprisingly, strategies playing an equity beta and restructuring themes offered the best returns, in particular L/S Equity and Event Driven funds. Conversely, L/S Credit and Fixed Income suffered from their trading fields falling out of favor.
