FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 8, 2011 - Stamford, CT, USA, December 8, 2011 – Hedge funds as measured by the Greenwich Global Hedge Fund Index (“GGHFI”) posted losses in November, losing ground during the latter half of the month on weak fundamentals in European markets. The GGHFI shed 1.05% compared to global equity returns in the S&P 500 Total Return (-0.22%), MSCI World Equity (-2.69%), and FTSE 100 (-0.70%) equity indices. 39% of constituent funds in the GGHFI ended the month with gains.

“European headlines continue to dictate the mood of global markets and cause increased volatility in equities. Hedge fund managers have decreased leverage and exposure to mitigate market risk but are still exposed to broader moves,” notes Clint Binkley, Senior Vice President.

• Directional Trading funds lead hedge fund strategies, advancing 0.17% on average
