Index Constituents & Eligibility

Interval Funds are a type of closed-end investment company that periodically offers to repurchase its shares from shareholders (See Formulaic Methodology document for more details). Unlike traditional closed-end funds, interval funds do not trade on a secondary market. Instead, they are required under Rule 23c-3 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to make periodic repurchase offers to shareholders at net asset value (NAV).

Eligibility criteria for funds included in the HFR Interval Fund Indices are as follows:

  • Fund is registered as an interval fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Rule 23c-3)
  • Performance denominated in U.S. Dollars
  • Fund reports NAV at least monthly

Computation of the Index NAV uses actual performance of constituent funds as reported by the managers. Performance reflects constituent fund management fees, incentive fees, dividends and other distributions. In cases where a manager lists multiple funds with the same or similar investment profiles, HFR chooses only the most representative fund for inclusion. HFR also screens for funds that exhibit abnormal volatility compared to their peers and may consider them for exclusion from the indices.
