Yeah -10% YTD isn't much to complain about when the market is off 40%. That is alot better than mutual funds of which a single one isn't up this year. That is ofcourse due to the fact mutual funds aren't allowed to short stocks and hedge funds are.
But actual numbers are much worse as ecritt said.

hedgeFunds can short, hedgeFunds can arbitrage
if market goes down 40% they have opportunity to gain 40% wo. leverage.
-19.6% YTD this an average of all performances
imo:
why many of them had losses?
