January performance was the ordsprog

January performance was the strongest since May 2003. Unusually strong equity market volatility and narrowing credit spreads created an exceptional trading environment for many hedge fund managers. The VIX, a measure of equity market volatility, jumped more than 21% to 14.56 after the January 20 stock market close, the biggest one-day percentage jump in nine months. Most hedge fund strategies require volatility to produce meaningful returns.

Many hedge fund strategies saw strong returns during the first quarter. Strong trends across a number of asset classes, low market volatility, and an increase in global M&A activity are among the key return drivers so far this year.

One of the key concerns of the Fed has been the wealth effect that the stock market has created. And with the market that we saw this morning, we're likely to see more volatility going forward, especially if it leads to more muted market activity on the return side.

Hedge fund investors have started affecting the fund-raising environment for private equity funds.

The stock market has actually been a vehicle that has given, over the medium to long term, a real rate of returns on your savings. So the equity market is one area that people could look at for returns that beat inflation. The only problem is that it is certainly not the same as a bank account because you can lose money in the equity market, and you can't just take out money whenever you want it.

It was an incredible session, a testimony to nothing else other than volatility led by hedge- fund position activity.
