HF performance tracking for SM

I often see people on this forum or hear from others talking about fund A doing well, fund B being poor, etc. I wonder how people track HF performance. Is there any database tracking this, or is it just pure word-of-mouth intel?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, hedge fund performance can be tracked through several databases and platforms. Some of the commonly mentioned resources include:

  1. Eurekahedge - A comprehensive database for hedge fund performance and analytics.
  2. Funds Portal - Another platform offering insights into fund performance.
  3. HFM Global - Provides detailed performance data and industry insights.
  4. Preqin - Known for its extensive data on alternative investments, including hedge funds.
  5. Daedalus Investment Platform - Tracks top-performing medium-sized hedge funds, though its primary aim is investment.

These platforms provide reliable data and are often used by professionals to monitor and compare fund performance.
