Tyler Durden's picture




 

Top 10 hedge fund performers in December: York, Moore EM, Russian Prosperity Fund (yes, the same fund that was scraping the bottom of the barrel a year ago), Paulson Credit, Castlerock, Moore Global, SR Global, Platinum, Paulson Enhanced and Owl Creek.

Notable 2009 performers:

  • Paulson Credit: 34%
  • York: 45%
  • Maverick: 24%
  • Moore Global: 22%
  • Tudor: 15%
  • Brigade: 40%
  • Davidson Kempner Distressed: 45%
  • Brevan Howard: 19%

Also, the number of hedge fund reopenings and launches surges. It is good to see that the hedge fund crew has not lost its market top-ticking skills after a year of disuse.

You could throw your money into a fire, but what's the fun in that when a fund manager will take 2% of it to do that for you? Apparently "survivorship bias" means nothing to the average hedge fund investor, nor does the silent graveyard of defunct hedge funds.

Hey, if anyone wants to lose money fashionably, kick it my way. I'll place some wicked bets with your money in Forex, 100:1 leveraged. Shit man, the odds are just as good with me as anyone else.

If they also did well in 2008 they're pretty solid imo, no?

As long as they're on the Squid's list server they should do OK.

I noticed that Merrill's HY C Rated index returned 96.8% in 2009.

Still amazes me.

It used to be called Reaching for Yield. But now, it should be called, "Groping in the dark for yield"
