By the numbers: More than $12 billion was redeemed from the global hedge fund industry in September, bringing year-to-date flows to -$76.86 billion.
- Total third quarter outflows of $29.37 billion marked the sixth consecutive quarterly outflow for the industry.
- Total hedge fund industry assets under management were $3.27 trillion at the end of September, according to the report.
