Stocks have historically had significant advances post-inversion, the market expects about two net cuts in short-term rates over the next year and a half. Our view remains that the odds of a recession in 2019 remain low.

There are certainly many stories about hedge fund withdrawals in the press, however, our data doesn’t show a dramatic shift.

There has been a cumulative net outflow so far this year but not too severe.

The March data continued the trend of recent months in which inflows have held fairly steady while outflows have run below year-ago levels.

This continuing pattern is consistent with other data we track, indicating investors are confident that hedge funds can deliver attractive returns, particularly in highly volatile markets.

The bulk of the increase was in longer term planned redemptions, with some concentrated activity among certain funds, so it is too early to say whether this is a change in recent trends which have been relatively stable despite market volatility.

It's hard to feel really good while the markets are so volatile but people will look back and say that this cleared the decks and took us from overbought conditions to oversold.

Adjusting for seasonality, the gain in the index was driven by lower outflows combined with steady inflows, this indicates that investors are increasing their allocations to hedge funds as markets in the U.S. and abroad are producing uneven returns, including significant upheaval in China and Greece.

You are in a place where the U.S. economy is a little softer, at least the data we are getting. I would argue it is still on solid footing, it is just we are in a bit of an ebb and the market is kind of ebbing with it a little bit.

You are sitting at highs and obviously some bit of good news at least is built into those highs and you need something else to get you over the hump.
