In creating the Clear Alpha Global IndexTM, and its sub-components (the Strategy, Sub-Strategy, and Peer Group Indices), Clear Alpha aims to provide a series of benchmarks that fairly represents the industry, and allows investors and analysts to:

  • Track and compare the performance of the space in line with other traditional and alternative asset classes
  • Monitor the contribution of different strategies and sub-strategies to the performance of the industry
  • Allow for the comparison of individual Trading Strategy Indices against their immediate peer group
  • Support portfolio allocation by providing indications of risk-return profiles for the investment strategies
The Clear Alpha Global IndexTM and its sub-components are fundamental to Clear Alpha's communication of its research, its commentary on the industry, and the development of its investment strategies for advisory and asset management purposes.

Clear Alpha publishes a monthly commentary, giving the monthly returns of the Clear Alpha Global IndexTM and the component indices, with commentary to express Clear Alpha's view of contributing factors for the returns. In addition, the report is intended to provide an oversight of activity within the database, and the latest composition of the universe. The reporting is available to download from the Clear Alpha website, and by email, to a distribution list maintained by Clear Alpha.
