"Caxton Associates Emerges as Largest Fund in the World posted on Monday 2 Jun 2003 01:19 PDT Caxton Associates, run by Bruce Kovner, emerged as the biggest fund in the world with assets of $10.5 billion, according to a survey by Absolute Return published by HedgeFund Intelligence. Andor Capital Management moved into second place with $9.0 billion. One of the principal findings in the Absolute Return survey is the scale of the investor flight from the big US equity shops. Many of the largest equity managers have seen sharp asset falls following a period of poor returns. According to the survey the industry is still in a very fluid state with clear winners and losers and huge swings in assets." Bruce Kovner is still a Market Wizard after all these years. He's DA MAN!
