SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator

WINDSOR, Conn., April 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator for April 2019 measured 2.51%, down from 3.49% in March.

"SS&C GlobeOp's Forward Redemption Indicator for April 2019 of 2.51% reflects a lower level of redemption notices compared with 2.60% reported a year ago," said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. "This year-over-year improvement in redemptions is consistent with other recent data points showing asset retention continuing to run at generally favorable levels. Investor confidence in the alternatives sector has remained high and allocations have remained steady over the volatile past year, which has seen wide swings in the equity markets, the inversion of the yield curve, and a change in Federal Reserve policy."

The SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator represents the sum of forward redemption notices received from investors in hedge funds administered by SS&C GlobeOp on the SS&C GlobeOp platform, divided by the AuA at the beginning of the month for SS&C GlobeOp fund administration clients on the SS&C GlobeOp platform. Forward redemptions as a percentage of SS&C GlobeOp's assets under administration on the SS&C GlobeOp platform have trended significantly lower since reaching a high of 19.27% in November 2008. The next publication date is May 21, 2019.

Published on the 15th business day of the month, the SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator presents a timely and accurate view of the redemption pipeline for investors in hedge funds on the SS&C GlobeOp administration platform. Movements in the Indicator reflect investor confidence in their allocations to hedge funds. Indicator data is based on actual investor redemption notifications received. Unlike subscriptions, redemption notifications are typically received 30-90 days in advance of the redemption date. Investors may, and sometimes do, cancel redemption notices. In addition, the establishment and enforcement of redemption notices may vary from fund to fund.
