Fintag has helpfully reproduced Alpha magazine’s list of the top 100 hedge funds in full. The survey last week found that the top funds tightened their grip on the industry with the top 100 passing the $1,000bn mark for the first time, holding more than two thirds of all hedge fund assets.
The heavyweights increased assets by 39 per cent last year. So where is the money headed?
The full list, which is headed by JPMorgan with $33.1bn under management and Goldman Sachs with $32.5bn, has London with a very respectable 19 mentions. The UK leaders are:
