Hedge Funds

Generally Hedge Funds are down 2.5% on the S&P 500 this year ( Bloomberg ).
Jupiter ( doing really badly ) and the others pay out at under 10% annually usually while there are trading sections of the market that are quoting well over 3 figures interest for just this year.
So one assumes the Funds are either doing pretty poorly or paying out peanuts and hogging the rest for themselves in wages/bonuses etc.
Perhaps someone can explain this big difference

Here is just 1 such company which proves year to date 3 figures %s are possible.

Year-to-date 3-figure profit figures are certainly possible, but "proves" is quite a big word to use, Pat, of a bunch of statements made on their own website by the company promoting the services listed?

I can't help wondering whether "claims" might possibly be a more accurate word than "proves", in this particular context?

It appears that your two posts above are implicitly comparing something independently monitored with something seen on a sales page, really? I'm not saying it's necessarily untrue, but it's not altogether a "like for like" comparison, surely? :|

Perhaps I am stretching this a bit but it's undeniable that many hedge funds haven't done well. According to a piece on Bloomberg some have lost on investing heavily in Costa Rica and China.
