The first two rows cover 582 commodity trading advisors from 1994 to 2007, excluding 83,201 of 102,393 post 1993 monthly observations as backfilled or pre listing. The third covers cross sectionally averaged hedge fund returns from January 1996 to December 2014 in the same commercial database. No standard errors or t statistics are reported for any of these bias estimates in either source.

A commodity trading advisor index returns 12.6 per cent a year with both biases present and 4.9 per cent with neither. The Sharpe ratio falls from 0.73 to 0.09. A separate hedge fund study on the same database finds 12.6 falling to 6.3.
