Industry tracker Eurekahedge published its monthly report, seeing its flagship Eurekahedge Hedge Fund Index gaining +0.86% in February. A strong global equity market, which continued to rebound over a potential resolution of US-China trade friction, was a large contributor. Hedge fund managers focusing on developed markets and Asia posted gains during the month, while Latin America and Eastern Europe mandates languished into the red. North American fund managers gained +1.46% while those focusing on Asia ex-Japan generated +2.77%. On a year-to-date basis, the two mandates were up +5.01% and +5.32% respectively.
