ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS: 2018 RECAP & 2019 OUTLOOK

Canada

In 2018, the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index ended the year down 4%.  While some of the largest funds had truly excellent year, the industry was modestly down on the year, performance was comparably better than performance reported by equity and bond indices.

Globally, as the hedge fund industry sits at $3.6T and the private credit industry is expected to reach $1T by 2020, investors are still looking to these to provide capital preservation and diversification as the current market cycle continues to age.
