Since last week’s report, the top and bottom performing lists of hedge funds from HSBC didn’t disclose any major changes. The only change position-wise happened at the bottom of the top performers, with Wellington Strategic European Equity Long Short Fund switching places with Equitile Resilience Fund.
Dominant positions are still held by M3 Fund from Equitile Investments, and Alken Capital with its Class J. On the bottom are Exponential Age Digital Asset Fund and Lucerne Capital Funds.

Top 10 Performers
1. Equitile M3 Fund: 82.92% YTD Returns
Last week, M3 Fund from Equitile pushed to the top of the list of top performers. It is an offshore outfit, and since its inception in 2022, it has been struggling to generate revenue.
2. Alken Capital Class J: 72.37% YTD Returns
Alken Capital and its private debt-oriented fund have not released any new data. Performance is stunning and is a continuation of the trend in recent years.
