SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index
The SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index is an asset-weighted, independent monthly window on hedge fund
performance. On the ninth business day of each month it provides a flash estimate of the gross aggregate performance of funds
for which SS&C GlobeOp provides monthly administration services on the SS&C GlobeOp platform. Interim and final values,
both gross and net, are provided in each of the two following months, respectively. Online data can be segmented by gross and
net performance, and by time periods. The SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index is transparent, consistent in data
processing, and free from selection or survivorship bias. Its inception date is January 1, 2006.
The SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index offers a unique reflection of the return on capital invested in
funds. It does not overstate exposure to, or the contribution of, any single strategy to aggregate hedge fund
performance. Since its inception, the correlation of the SS&C GlobeOp Performance Index to many popular equity market
indices has been approximately 25% to 30%. This is substantially lower than the equivalent correlation of other widely followed
hedge fund performance indices.
SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index
The SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index represents the monthly net of hedge fund subscriptions and redemptions
administered by SS&C GlobeOp on the SS&C GlobeOp platform. This monthly net is divided by the total assets under
administration (AuA) for
fund administration clients on the SS&C
GlobeOp platform.
Cumulatively, the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index for October 2017 stands at 137.25 points, a decrease of 0.95
points over September 2017. The Index has declined 3.10 points over the past 12 months. The next publication date is November
13, 2017.
Published on the ninth business day of each month, the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index presents a timely and
accurate view of investments in hedge funds on the SS&C GlobeOp administration platform. Data is based on actual
subscriptions and redemptions independently calculated and confirmed from real capital movements, and published only a few
business days after they occur. Following the month of its release, the Index may be updated for capital movements that
occurred after the fifth business day.

The
SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index and the
SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator provide
monthly reports based on actual and anticipated capital movement data independently collected from all hedge fund clients for
whom SS&C GlobeOp provides administration services on the SS&C GlobeOp platform.
The
SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index is an
asset-weighted benchmark of the aggregate performance of funds for which SS&C GlobeOp provides monthly administration
services on the SS&C GlobeOp platform. 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, the SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Index data will be based on the
same reconciled fund data that SS&C GlobeOp uses to produce fund net asset values (NAV). Funds acquired through the
acquisition of Citi Alternative Investor Services are integrated into the index suite starting with the January 2017 reporting
periods. SS&C GlobeOp’s total assets under administration on the SS&C GlobeOp platform represent approximately
10% 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.
