According to Bloomberg last month, Macquarie Group Ltd. is shutting Asia’s oldest quantitative equity hedge fund after a poor performance in recent years.

The company reportedly told investors in October that the 13-year-old Macquarie Asian Alpha Fund would close. The fund, which has Australian and U.S. dollar versions, posted losses for each of the past three years, newsletters show. Assets plummeted to $133 million in September after peaking at about $2 billion in 2015.

Hedge funds are typically aggressively managed portfolios of investments that use advanced investment strategies such as leveraged, long, short and derivative positions in both domestic and international markets with the goal of generating high returns.

Hedge funds such as Macquarie Asian Alpha Fund are generally complex and high risk investments.  Investors in hedge funds can often expect large swings in performance and volatility. They are not suitable for all investors.

According to Bloomberg, hedge fund closings hit $3 trillion, and “closures have outnumbered launches for the third year running: 580 funds decided to shut as of Dec. 3, compared with 552 openings, according to Eurekahedge.”
