WINDSOR, Conn., Sept. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The gross return of the SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index for August 2017 measured 0.90%.

Hedge fund flows as measured by the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index advanced 0.13% in September.

"SS&C GlobeOp's Capital Movement Index rose 0.13% for September 2017 indicating positive net flows into hedge funds," said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies.
