Hedge funds' best month in a decade – and the data race reshaping the industry
0:00 | 0:00

On the agenda for this episode, Declan Quilligan, Head of Hedge Fund Services, Citco Fund Services, is joined by Martin McCarthy, Head of Hedge Funds – Europe, on the latest AFI podcast to discuss April's performance, in which hedge funds delivered one of their strongest monthly returns of the decade, with nearly 90% of funds posting positive results. 

The pair also explore why managers of all sizes are increasingly demanding real-time data integration from administrators over traditional static NAV reporting – and why, as operational complexity grows, data accessibility is fast becoming a genuine competitive advantage.

Key trends
  • Hedge funds deliver their strongest monthly performance in a decade – and the standout numbers behind it
  • Investor conviction remains firm despite market turbulence, with Multi-Strategy funds leading on flows and Europe dominating year-to-date at $24.2bn
  • The data revolution in fund administration – and why administrators that can deliver will define the next chapter of the industry
