The inflow, the second-biggest since 1994, came mostly before the recent stock market turmoil struck many hedge funds.
The biggest inflows were for long-short equity strategies, which gained $14.9 billion, followed by event-driven funds, which gained $12.2 billion, according to Lipper Inc., which operates the database. Multistrategy funds gained $6.1 billion.
Global macro funds posted $848 million of net outflows, and managed futures lost $686.7 million, Lipper said.
