Investable index provider BRI Partners has rolled out what it terms the “next generation of hedge fund indexes” with the launch of the BRI Long/Short Equity Index, calculated by Wilshire Associates. BRI says the strategy is the first of eight strategies that will be rolled out across the coming months, and that the new indices are unique because unlike existing hedge fund indices, the firm’s do not measure the performance of hedge fund managers and, therefore, do not rely on managers to provide a snapshot of month-end results.
