Key Insights
Best 1M: Altiva +1.14%
Edelweiss's Altiva extends its lead — best Hybrid LS track record at +6.54% since inception. 8 of 8 months tracked, only one negative (Mar -1.53%).
6 of 7 funds positive in May
Category average +0.30% in May. Only qSIF (-1.02%) finished red — giving back roughly a sixth of its monster April recovery (+6.94%).

Hybrid LS Best-Performing Category in May
Hybrid Long-Short SIFs delivered the steadiest May returns across all SIF categories — 6 of 7 funds positive, category average +0.30%. The arbitrage + debt sleeve typical of this category provided a defensive base while the directional sleeve captured the May upmove.
3-Month View: April Recovery Carried Through
The Mar–May 3M window captures the full March crash → April rebound → May consolidation cycle. qSIF leads at +4.88% (3M) thanks to its monster +6.94% April. Altiva (+2.75%) shows the most consistent monthly grind. iSIF and Titanium remain net-negative over the window — March's drawdowns were too deep to fully recover.
Altiva: Most Consistent Track Record
Edelweiss's Altiva is the only Hybrid LS SIF with 8 months of data and just one negative month (Mar -1.53%). At +6.54% since inception, it's the clear leader for risk-adjusted track record across the entire Hybrid Long-Short category.
