Even though Hedge Funds suffered huge withdrawals and had to deal with a very tough market last year, it seems some have still managed to have considerable success. Previous bull market titans may have dropped off, but some constant names remain. In 2009, with no bottom in sight and no doubt much more disclosure expected from Hedge funds, will we continue to see these huge numbers? The true great managers who trade both sides of the market and offer full disclosure will continue to be successful, but expect to see another overall drop in the industry this year.
Kudo's to John Arnold, the guy is in his 30's! Paulson near the top for the second consecutive year too, the only guy to remain up there. He has truly capitalised on the fallings of the mortgage backed securities market. He recently launched another fund aimed at lending to other investment banks and firms.
