2014 was a lacklustre year for equity hedge funds, yet when Bloomberg released its list of 100 Top Performing Large Hedge Funds (those with assets under management equal or above $1 billion), the number one slot was taken by Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square Capital, a hedge-fund that deals primarily in equity and derivatives.
In an article published on Bloomberg’s website, Anthony Effinger and Katherine Burton wrote, “Ackman was an outlier. Most managers on the list were debt traders, including a dozen funds dealing in bonds backed by mortgages and other assets, or quants -- investors who use mathematical models to trade a variety of securities.”
