Citco 2026 Q3 Hedge Fund Report

Hedge funds came back down to earth in Q3, with a dip in performance after a double-digit return in Q2.

With major asset classes experiencing headwinds, the weighted average return across hedge funds administered by the Citco group of companies (Citco) came in at -0.7%, although more than half (53%) of funds were still positive. 

Investors have backed hedge funds this year, with net inflows every quarter, and Q3 was no different, with inflows totalling $36bn, just below the $39.1bn seen in Q2.

These are some of the findings from Citco's Quarterly Hedge Fund Report covering Q3 2026, which explores performance, capital flows, trade volumes and treasury volumes.
