SS&C Highlights February Hedge Fund Index Gains and Increased Capital Flows

According to a recent LinkedIn post from SS&C Technologies, the SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index recorded a gross return of 0.59% for February 2026. The same post notes that SS&C GlobeOp’s Capital Movement Index rose 0.87%, described as notably above its 0.48% average over the prior decade.

The post also cites commentary from Bill Stone suggesting that hedge funds can perform well amid escalating global conflicts, higher oil prices, inflation risks, and broader market uncertainty. This framing may reinforce the positioning of hedge funds, and by extension SS&C’s hedge fund administration and technology services, as potentially resilient solutions in volatile macroeconomic environments.

For investors, the reported performance and capital movement data point to continued engagement and asset flows in the hedge fund sector, a core client base for SS&C. If such trends persist, they could support stable or growing revenue from fund administration, software, and related services, while also underscoring SS&C’s role as an infrastructure provider in alternative asset markets.
