Ebullio Capital Management had a 95% drawdown in a month. Don't feel too bad when you're going through a hard time, even the pros really really screw up!!
Even the pros blow up

has, as a token of confidence in the future, waived
its 2 pct management fee for 2010."

Hard to believe such incompetence gets rewarded with that much cash.
They had 50 million AUM before the 96% "drawdown".
Proves the fund industry is more about marketing/perception, than anything else. Cudos.

The pamphlet does have some brilliant gems, though. These include the understated "whilst our NAV is impacted to the low side," the oxy-moronic "our opportunistic, aggressive yet conservative Capital Manager," and the mention of option purchases which was "money well spent and essential to manage downside risk" (evidently -69% in Jan and -85% in Feb is risk management).
I'm not very familiar with the markets they mentioned. Did they have large positions on some illiquid contracts or something?
