Abstract

The paper examines whether the coronavirus pandemic has affected selected hedge fund markets (Eurekahedge Hedge Fund Index, Eurekahedge North American Hedge Fund Index, Eurekahedge European Hedge Fund Index, Eurekahedge Asian Hedge Fund Index). The purpose of the paper is to assess the degree of the differential impact of the coronavirus pandemic on selected hedge fund markets. This paper collects hedge fund market index performance data one year before and after the coronavirus pandemic was discovered and analyzed the data through the t-test. The results show that the return of the hedge fund market during the coronavirus pandemic outperformed that of the hedge fund market without the coronavirus pandemic. The data of the Asian and North American markets are particularly obvious, but the performance of the European market is not particularly obvious. This paper guides participants in the hedge fund market on how to make safer and more profitable investments during the coronavirus pandemic, and it also provides directions for further research.
