Podcast: Hedge funds' best month in a decade – and the data race reshaping the industry
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.
