I'll believe it when I see it. Their form D was just filed last July. So I suspect a lot of "hypothetical" performance in there.

BarclayHedge (and probably Bloomberg) is entirely self reported information. Almost all of these databases are. They do zero checking of, well, anything. I know this since I report to them as well.Quote from tonyzhou:
Above information is pulled from Barclay hedge fund database

No, not really. Audits must legally be conducted/shared for all partners in a limited partnership.... And legally you can't conduct fraud. But beyond that, anything goes from a legal point of view. Numbers in these databases can be pure fantasy. (And of course, audits are also frequently faked.... People literally take audit reports and white-out numbers before sending them on.)Quote from tonyzhou:
Sholdn't the number be audited in any hedge fund?
