The Richest Hedge Fund Managers On The 2020 Forbes 400 List (Forbes) The 25 members of The Forbes 400 who made their fortunes from hedge funds are worth a combined $185 billion, up $2.8 billion from last year. As a group, that’s saying something, given that hedge funds got hammered in the first half of 2020, losing a record 7.9% on average, according to an analysis by Hedge Fund Research. The number of hedge funders on The Forbes 400 held steady at 25 this year, but Renaissance Technologies‘ Henry Laufer slipped from the rankings, and Pershing Square Capital Management founder and CEO William Ackman returned to the list after a four-year absence. Of those who were on the 2019 list, 11 got richer, 7 are down and 6 are flat. Still, their performance pales in comparison to some tech tycoons who are tens of billions of dollars richer than a year ago–like Jeff Bezos, whose net worth jumped an eye-catching 57% since the 2019 Forbes 400 list.
Enter all these super star hedge fund managers into a trading contest and I bet they won't even be able to beat the S&P 500! If you think these guys make their money looking for Head and Shoulders patterns or breakout of trendlines think again... (I am talking in general, this is not a comment about your post DealMaker).
Yeah, @Tradex, they got where they are by trading demo FX and posting fake, impossible fills on ET. You're in good company. Oh, and WTF are you commenting on every thread?
So you are equating the best of the best hedge fund managers with thieves??? Yeah,you have major envy...
How do you call people who collect huge fees from their customers (win or lose) but deliver less return than the S&P 500, year after year?
Dam Smart... No one forced the investors to pony up... Go start a fund and don't charge fees.. You are jealous
