from Wilshire Associates Incorporated
Š2020 Wilshire Associates. For Financial Advisors Only. 2
• Financial markets experienced extreme volatility as markets, governments, and global policy makers grappled with a global pandemic, as
well as a supply/demand shock in oil. The S&P 500 Index was down -19.60% for the quarter as volatility spiked to levels last seen during
the Global Financial Crisis. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index posted a positive return of 3.15% for the quarter. The
Wilshire Liquid Alternatives Index, HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index, and HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returned -8.48%, -9.39%,
and -6.85% for the quarter, respectively.
• The best performing Wilshire Liquid Alternative sub-strategy index during the quarter was the Wilshire Liquid Alternative Global Macro
Index, which ended the first quarter down -0.79%. The HFRI Macro Index and HFRX Macro/CTA Index posted quarterly returns of 0.07%
and -1.18%, respectively.
• The worst performing sub-strategy index during the quarter and year was the Wilshire Liquid Alternative Equity Hedge Index, which
ended the quarter down -12.21%. The HFRI Equity Hedge Index and the HFRX Equity Hedge Index posted quarterly returns of -12.93%
and -13.33%, respectively.
• During the quarter, all sub-strategies saw net outflows. Relative value funds experienced the highest level of outflows at $13.6bn, while
equity hedge, multi-strategy, global macro and event driven funds saw net outflows of $4.1bn, $2.0bn, $1.5bn and $0.4bn, respectively.
This marks the eighth consecutive quarter the liquid alternatives industry has experienced net outflows.
• Fund count fell by 11 in Q1 2020, with one new liquid alternative fund launch, 11 liquidations, and one acquisition out of the universe.

Q1 2020 Performance Highlights
• The Wilshire Liquid Alternative Equity Hedge IndexSM ended March down -6.82% and the quarter down -
12.20%, outperforming the HFRX Equity Hedge Index’s monthly and quarterly returns of -9.58% and -
13.33%, respectively. Equity hedge strategies experienced a significant decline as equity markets sold off
as the COVID-19 pandemic spread. A collapse in oil prices further exacerbated the situation following a
production dispute between Russia and Saudi Arabia. Long-biased equity managers, with either a growth
or value-orientation, were affected during the quarter as most economic activity ceased and financial
market volatility skyrocketed.
• The Wilshire Liquid Alternative Event Driven IndexSM ended March down -5.65% and the quarter down -
6.00%, underperforming the HFRX Event Driven Index’s monthly and quarterly returns of -5.48% and -
5.50%, respectively. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread globally, M&A activity came to an abrupt halt and
spreads began to widen indiscriminately, reaching levels not seen since 2008.

Q1 2020 Performance Highlights
• The Wilshire Liquid Alternative Global Macro IndexSM ended March down -0.18% and the quarter down
-0.79%, outperforming the HFRX Macro/CTA Index’s monthly and quarterly returns of -0.81% and -1.18%,
respectively. CTAs were relatively diversified, with longs in fixed income, the U.S. dollar, and shorts in
energy and commodity-driven currencies, offsetting losses incurred in equities.
• The Wilshire Liquid Alternative Relative Value IndexSM ended March down -7.13% and the quarter down
-7.64%, underperforming the HFRX Relative Value Arbitrage Index’s monthly and quarterly returns of -
6.07% and -5.44%, respectively. Relative value credit managers were generally flat going into March, but
then suffered substantial losses as credit began to fall in value across the quality spectrum and spreads
widened dramatically in the wake of deleveraging. Convertible arbitrage managers also suffered as
deleveraging expanded to most areas of the market.

Wilshire is a global financial services firm providing diverse services to various types of investors and intermediaries. Wilshire’s products, services, investment approach and
advice may differ between clients and all of Wilshire’s products and services may not be available to all clients. For more information regarding Wilshire’s services, please see

This material represents the current opinion of Wilshire Associates Incorporated (‘Wilshire’) and is based on sources believed to be reliable. Information and opinions are as of
the date indicated, and are subject to change without notice. Wilshire shall not be liable (including for indirect, consequential, or incidental damages) for any error, omission,

The Wilshire Indexes are calculated and distributed by Wilshire. The indices do not represent an investment. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Exposure to an
asset class represented by an index may be available through investable instruments derived from that index. Wilshire makes no representations regarding the advisability of
investing in investment products based on the Wilshire Indexes that are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Wilshire. Index returns do not reflect payment of
certain sales charges or fees an investor may pay to purchase the securities underlying the Indices or investment vehicles intended to track the performance of the Indices. The
imposition of these fees and charges would cause actual performance of the securities/vehicles to be lower than the Indices performance shown. Inclusion of a company in the
Wilshire Indices does not in any way reflect an opinion of Wilshire on the investment merits of the company.

  • 2. Š2020 Wilshire Associates. For Financial Advisors Only. 2 • Financial markets experienced extreme volatility as markets, governments, and global policy makers grappled with a global pandemic, as well as a supply/demand shock in oil. The S&P 500 Index was down -19.60% for the quarter as volatility spiked to levels last seen during the Global Financial Crisis. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index posted a positive return of 3.15% for the quarter. The Wilshire Liquid Alternatives Index, HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index, and HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returned -8.48%, -9.39%, and -6.85% for the quarter, respectively. • The best performing Wilshire Liquid Alternative sub-strategy index during the quarter was the Wilshire Liquid Alternative Global Macro Index, which ended the first quarter down -0.79%. The HFRI Macro Index and HFRX Macro/CTA Index posted quarterly returns of 0.07% and -1.18%, respectively. • The worst performing sub-strategy index during the quarter and year was the Wilshire Liquid Alternative Equity Hedge Index, which ended the quarter down -12.21%. The HFRI Equity Hedge Index and the HFRX Equity Hedge Index posted quarterly returns of -12.93% and -13.33%, respectively. • During the quarter, all sub-strategies saw net outflows. Relative value funds experienced the highest level of outflows at $13.6bn, while equity hedge, multi-strategy, global macro and event driven funds saw net outflows of $4.1bn, $2.0bn, $1.5bn and $0.4bn, respectively. This marks the eighth consecutive quarter the liquid alternatives industry has experienced net outflows. • Fund count fell by 11 in Q1 2020, with one new liquid alternative fund launch, 11 liquidations, and one acquisition out of the universe.

Equity hedge strategies experienced a significant decline as equity markets sold off as the COVID-19 pandemic spread. A collapse in oil prices further exacerbated the situation following a production dispute between Russia and Saudi Arabia. Long-biased equity managers, with either a growth or value-orientation, were affected during the quarter as most economic activity ceased and financial market volatility skyrocketed. • The Wilshire Liquid Alternative Event Driven IndexSM ended March down -5.65% and the quarter down - 6.00%, underperforming the HFRX Event Driven Index’s monthly and quarterly returns of -5.48% and - 5.50%, respectively. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread globally, M&A activity came to an abrupt halt and spreads began to widen indiscriminately, reaching levels not seen since 2008.

  • 6. Š2020 Wilshire Associates.

CTAs were relatively diversified, with longs in fixed income, the U.S. dollar, and shorts in energy and commodity-driven currencies, offsetting losses incurred in equities. • The Wilshire Liquid Alternative Relative Value IndexSM ended March down -7.13% and the quarter down -7.64%, underperforming the HFRX Relative Value Arbitrage Index’s monthly and quarterly returns of - 6.07% and -5.44%, respectively. Relative value credit managers were generally flat going into March, but then suffered substantial losses as credit began to fall in value across the quality spectrum and spreads widened dramatically in the wake of deleveraging. Convertible arbitrage managers also suffered as deleveraging expanded to most areas of the market. Performance Q1 2020 LIQUID ALTERNATIVES INDUSTRY MONITOR
