A great start for 2024 for the hedge funds listed below! It would however be more significant if we were able to see the splits of NAV contributions per asset class and/or strategy. 2024 certainly feels like a year for Commods already, but there are some Equity L/S names as well as Macro funds listed below (where these are considered core strats). Something we will never see, is to what degree risk was put on to achieve these numbers?? That is a key metric - more so than absolute returns - that shareholders/LPs should care about. Risk-adjusted returns are the name of the game, and usually, outsized returns nearly always equate to outsized risks…majority of the time anyway. A net long bias bet is usually undertaken somewhere, but you won’t get an accurate depiction of this from funds monthly newsletters!!

Why hedge fund talent factories? Multistrategy hedge funds hire entire bands of high-performers and chain them to fixed rules, and strict risk limits to avoid disasters. A trader losing 5% at some places may see capital partially withdrawn. -7% decline could bring instant termination. If Warren Buffett worked for one of these multistrats, he could have got himself fired eight times over the past decade for breaching risk limits, judged by Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s share performance. Such ruthlessness has made multi-strategy firms steady engines of profit. Finding people who can persistently deliver to these standards is another matter, especially when more than 50 such funds are scrambling for them. So readying them in-house helps
