GlobeOp Capital Movement Index: May inflows advance 1.24%

LONDON, NEW YORK - 11 MAY 2012 - Hedge fund flows as measured by the GlobeOp Capital Movement Index advanced 1.24% in May.

"May produced another month of positive net flows into hedge funds," said Hans Hufschmid, chief executive officer, GlobeOp Financial Services (LSE:GO.). "Gross inflows and outflows were moderate."

The GlobeOp Capital Movement Index represents the monthly net of hedge fund subscriptions and redemptions administered by GlobeOp. This monthly net is divided by the total assets under administration (AuA) for GlobeOp's fund administration clients.

Cumulatively, the GlobeOp Capital Movement Index for May 2012 stands at 146.10 points, an increase of 1.24 points over April 2012. The Index has advanced 13.47 points over the past 12 months. The next publication date is June 14, 2012.

The GlobeOp Capital Movement Index and the GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator provide monthly reports based on actual and anticipated capital movement data independently collected from all hedge fund clients for whom GlobeOp provides administration services. The GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index is an asset-weighted benchmark of the aggregate performance of funds for which GlobeOp provides monthly administration services. Flash estimate, interim and final values are provided, in each of three months, respectively, following each business month-end. While individual fund data is anonymized by aggregation, Index data will be based on the same reconciled fund data GlobeOp uses to produce fund net asset value (NAV) reports. GlobeOp's total assets under administration represent approximately 10 percent of the estimated assets currently invested in the hedge fund sector. The investment strategies of the funds in the Indices span a representative industry sample. Data for middle and back office clients who are not fund administration clients is not included in the Index but is included in the company's results announcement figures.
