New York (HedgeCo.net) – Hedge fund administrator GlobeOp Financial Services announced that its Forward Redemption Indicator for February shows notifications at 3.14%, up from 1.85% in January.  In line with seasonal adjustment the data continues to reflect the trend of very low redemption levels.

“Seasonally adjusted, February continues the recent trend of very low redemption levels,” said Hans Hufschmid, chief executive officer, GlobeOp Financial Services.
