Hedge fund flows as measured by the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index advanced 1.36% in August.

"Net inflows resumed in August taking the cumulative Index to a new high despite the continued uncertainty in European and US markets," said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. "Interestingly, outflows for the month were the lowest we have seen for August since we started tracking the Index."

The SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index represents the monthly net of hedge fund subscriptions and redemptions administered by SS&C GlobeOp on the GlobeOp platform. This monthly net is divided by the total assets under administration (AuA) for fund administration clients on the GlobeOp platform.

Cumulatively, the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index for August 2012 stands at 148.06 points, an increase of 1.36 points over July 2012. The Index has advanced 13.31 points over the past 12 months. The next publication date is 12 September, 2012.

Published on the eighth business day of each month, the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index presents a timely and accurate view of investments in hedge funds on the GlobeOp administration platform. Data is based on actual subscriptions and redemptions independently calculated and confirmed from real capital movements, and published only a few business days after they occur. Following the month of its release, the Index may be updated for capital movements that occurred after the fifth business day.
