HedgeCo™ (HCN) Hedge Fund Indices
The HedgeCo.Net (HCN) Hedge Fund Indices are a group of equally weighted performance indices utilized by numerous hedge fund managers as a benchmark
for their own hedge funds. Unlike asset-weighting utilized by some other indices, the equal-weighting of the HCN presents a more general picture of
performance of the hedge fund industry. By weighting all funds equally, this helps to reduce any bias toward the larger funds potentially created
by alternative weightings, especially for strategies that encompass a small number of funds.
