Hedge Fund Managers
 
Hedgehogs? Fat cats?
Simply traders. Some are excellent... some are losers...
They are all portfolio managers.
 
Hedge fund managers live far from the money they manage...
 
Domicile of the hedge fund managers:
1. At the East coast of the United States (New York City, Gold Coast area of Connecticut, particularly Stamford and Greenwich) – the world's leading location for hedge fund managers
2. London. At the end of 2007, three-quarters of European hedge fund investments were managed from London.
 
Domicile of the money:
The Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Bermuda.
Most US onshore funds are registered in Delaware.
 
Hedge fund managers - fee
Would you like to receive a "2 and 20" fee?
 
This is what hedge fund managers charge.  A management fee of 2% of the fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) per year, and a performance fee of 20% of the fund's profit.
 
Exact figures are not made publicly available, meaning that most reported figures are estimations.
 
Several publications publish annual lists of top earning hedge fund managers.
