Winton inflows continue through to year-end
Winton Capital Management, the London-based quant giant regarded as last year’s biggest beneficiary of hedge fund investment, continued its success in the final two months of 2011, HFMWeek can exclusively reveal.
According to sources with knowledge of the firm, Winton saw combined net inflows of approximately $1.1bn in November and December.
About $660m, or 60%, of the $1.1bn total, came during November – a figure that would account for almost 20% of industry inflows for the month, based on a recent BarclayHedge and TrimTabs survey figure of $3.6bn.
The inflows came from a wide variety of institutional investors, primarily in the US and the Far East, with pension funds accounting for a significant, but not dominant, proportion.
Last November it was reported that Winton, which now has $28bn in AuM, had seen 10% of all new industry money in 2011 through 31 October, attracting $7.3bn of a total of $70.7bn.
