Hedge funds post strong first quarter

Hedge funds posted a strong first quarter, thanks to the continued boom in energy and hefty gains in the metals markets. The major hedge-fund indexes, which track aggregate returns for all strategies, showed gains ranging from 3.26 percent to 5.87 percent in the first quarter. By comparison, the S&P 500 returned 3.73 percent in the quarter. Increases in January and March offset the flattish results hedge funds saw in February.
