Hedge Fund Index

The HFRI Weighted Composite Index (HFRIFWI)

The HFRI Weighted Composite Index ((HFRIFWI)) is an equal - weighted index of more than 1,600 hedge funds, excluding fund of funds, and results in a very general picture of performance across the hedge fund industry.

You can see how because of the hedging, the Hedge Fund Index is less volatile than the broader average. This reduces what Wall Street calls risk.
