The largest hedge fund managers 2023

Very surprised by Rennaisance numbers.

Are they correct? Down 26% for the year and also 26% over 5 years?

Not surprised, that's what happens when you mix politics with business.
Would never work for a man who thinks he can support a politician,
but his partners can't. Just dumb.
 
A handful of folks wanted to understand the source and methodology.

  1. SPECIAL REPORT: HEDGE FUNDS

September 25, 2023 05:00 AM
How the survey was conducted

Pensions & Investments annually surveys institutionally oriented managers to collect data about their worldwide and institutional assets managed in hedge funds as of June 30.

The 2023 survey marks the 14th year P&I has gathered data from hedge fund firms for this report, which is one of P&I's most popular annual manager features.

In a small number of cases, P&I obtains hedge fund assets under management worldwide from a company source such as a spokesperson, website or financial report.
 
Looks like the law of large numbers has caught up with Bridgewater. Hard to believe RenTech did so badly. I guess without Simons they aren't as good.

LOL /RenTech did very good compared to BlackRock, 1 -10 years.
Strange , number those of top ten that beat SPY benchmark. If they are figuring a total 10 year return %, say 120% on SPY.
I dont really want to sign up there @ this time to find out all the details.[Edit/ SCHW data says 10 year SPY return =151.68%, better than my 120% guess:D:D]

I can't understand ... Cidatel has 59,500 * 1,000,000= 59,500,000,000

That's Just $59.5 billion is asset only ? then how Cidatel is such a Largest Market maker in the world?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citadel_LLC
As of December 2022, Citadel is the most successful hedge fund of all time, posting $65.9 billion in net gains since inception in 1990.[6]

Citadel LLC is a separate entity from the market maker Citadel Securities, although both were founded and are owned by Griffin.[7]

Only their Medallions Fund outperforms
Very surprised by Rennaisance numbers.

Are they correct? Down 26% for the year and also 26% over 5 years?

Regarding the confusion over legendary Ren. Technologies:


Only their Medallion Fund outperforms. This fund is capped at ten billion and only open to founders and employees.

Medallion has made over sixty percent a year for over thirty years with only one down year.
__

Over 95 percent of hedge funds have under-performed both the market and Berkshire Hathaway over any rolling ten year period, and they figure to. Hedge fund alpha-plus-more is usually washed away by large fees and sometimes the size of the fund is too large to fully accommodate whatever prime edges they have.

Even risk adjusted, the great majority of hedge funds will underperform over rolling ten year periods.

The hedge fund industry is filled with lots of salesmanship and hustler activity.

Street Economics

100 dollar bills do not lie on the sidewalk of a big city very long, but sometimes pennies do.

For every buyer there is a seller.

Price tries to discount the future.

Only their Medallion Fund probably figures to outperform over long periods- they have even closed funds that were doing badly.

Medallion is capped at ten billion and only open to founders and employees. They cannot find enough worthwhile edges to hold more capital.

Medallion has made over sixty percent a year for over thirty years with only one down year.
