Four out of seven of MV Index Solutions’ (MVIS) investable Long/Short Equity Indices recorded positive performance in June, with the other three ending the month in negative territory.
Each index is constructed using transparent, liquid ETFs and US Treasury securities to produce hedge fund-style returns without hedge fund pricing, opaqueness and redemption restrictions.
The month’s top performer was the MVIS Asia (Developed) Long/Short Equity Index with a return of 1.98 per cent, followed by the MVIS North America Long/Short Equity Index (0.73 per cent), the MVIS Global Event Long/Short Equity Index (90.57 per cent), and the MVIS Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity Index (0.12 per cent).
The month’s biggest loser was the MVIS Western Europe Long/Short Equity Index with a return of -0.82 per cent, closely followed by the MVIS All World Long/Short Equity Index (-0.80 per cent). The MVIS Global Long/Short Equity Index was negative by the smallest amount with a fall of just 0.01 per cent.
The MVIS Long/Short Equity Indices use a patented methodology in seeking to capture the beta returns of universes of statistically similar hedge funds that exhibit in aggregate consistently high concentrations of beta. MVIS currently offers four regional and three global long/short equity strategies.
