In a report published Friday, Citigroup analyst Tobias Levkovich offered a glimpse in to what hedge funds and mutual funds are buying and how they are performing.
According to Levkovich, the Equity Hedge Fund Index outperformed the S&P 500 for the first time in over two years. While the S&P 500 rose 11.4 percent in 2014, versus a 1.4 percent gain for the HFRX Equity Hedge index, the first quarter of 2015 saw a reversal as the HFRX index rose 2.2 percent versus the S&P 500's 0.4 percent return.
Levkovich also broke down sector weights of the largest mutual funds and hedge funds as follows:
