2009 Q2 - Quarterly Hedge Fund Performance (05/29/09 to present)
The above chart shows the performance of the virtual Hedge Synergy Fund NAV, Long Portfolio, Short Portfolio and the S&P 500 for the first quarter of 2009. For prior quarterly Performance charts please go to the Quarterly Hedge Fund Performance web page.

 

Sharpe Ratio calculated using a rolling 90-Day T-bill rate. The "Hedge Fund Performance" web page shows returns net of performance fees while the "Risk/Return" web pages show gross returns.


 
The above chart compares the monthly Hedge Synergy NAV to the return of an investment in T-Bills, the S&P 500, and the Long/Short Greenwich Global, Hennessee, Barclay, Credit Suisse/Tremont Hedge Fund Indexes. The T-Bill return is based on monthly compounding using the average of the current month's daily T-Bill rate which is then divided by 12.
