Aberdeen Standard Investments and HFR launch strategic partnership

Traditional methods of creating hedge fund benchmarks have tended to fall short of the requirement to be investable or have resulted in sub-optimal tracking errors. HFR has created a series of indices following an approach that would typically be seen in the equity and bond space – i.e. the ability of a product to physically own the underlying assets held in the benchmark - and applied it to hedge funds.
