Hedge funds ended a two-month losing streak, profiting from the January market surge. The Hedge Fund Intelligence Global Composite Index rose 1.27%. The equity market rally handily exceeded hedge fund returns, however, with the MSCI World Index (net) rising 5.02% for the month.

Event-driven funds were the best performers globally with a gain of 3.54% in January. This is the strategy's best performing month in the history of the HedgeFund Intelligence database, which began collecting data in 1998 (the second best month was November 2004, when the Event Driven Index rose 3.25%).
