The Best And Worst Performing Hedge Funds Of 2015

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As we previously reported just days before the August books were officially closed, in the worst month for the market since 2011, the vast majority of hedge funds proved that virtually nobody hedges (instead opting to chase beta, with leverage). Some exceptions which were truly geared to catpialize from a risk blow up "fat tail" event, were Mark Spitznagel's previously noted Universa, as well as the Artemis Vega Fund. Almost everyone else, lost money or barely scraped through.

So what was the final August, and YTD, score card for the hedge fund world? Here are the Top 20 best and worst performers (we can only assume the reason Paulson's "Advantage Plus" is in neither category is because the former Bear trader decided to stop reporting his performance altogether).

 

And here are the select hedge funds we follow month to month, showing the August blodbath.

Those numbers are actually better than I'd have anticipated.  So what we need is MOAR down and blood... er .... wait ....
Fuck it!  Root for the bread lines. 
Er .... they're all EBT cards, these days ...  Oh, nevermind

Fortress does it again! What a bunch of cunts. I mean that in a bad way. Guess owning Nationstar Mortgage, LLC, declining over 50% for the year does not help? Ha-fucking-ha!

I do appreciate their greed as it has helped me to live mortgage free for 4 years. They lost their foreclosure case against me. Guess why? Oh, right, forged documentation! You, dear reader, are NOT surprised.

Renaissance Technologies Medallion.

Closed fund. Only for owners/employers.

Not a down quarter ever in history.

If it's liquid, it's tradeable and it has data - they will trade it.

27 year running streak. Has left everything else in the dust...

yep...

 

ive read on one of the quant forums that this fund is a CIA/NSA operation and used to fund spooks and their no-good shenanigans

 

One of their employees allegedly killed himself about 12 years ago..me thinks he was talking to the russians (he was a russian) and got nail gun'd

I like how Bridgewater "PURE ALPHAZZ!!!" has pretty much done the index.  Worth every penny of that $1,000,000 fee: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-16/want-bridgewater-manage-your-mo...
