Wilton, CT-headquartered Private Client Resources has entered into a strategic partnership with Hedge Fund Research, a provider of indexation, research and analysis of the global hedge fund industry.

Robin Williams, PCR’s chief product officer, said the partnership is a direct response to feedback from the firm’s advisory board, who are seeking “drill-down capabilities” into the underlying investments that comprise their clients’ alternative investment portfolios.

The affiliation means that advisors using PCR’s Palette Platform will have access to HFR’s database, enabling specific queries for relative performance measurement, peer group analysis and benchmarking, the firm said.

HFR produces some 100 indices of hedge fund performance ranging from industry-aggregate levels to niche areas of sub-strategy and regional investment focus.
