2:25 pm - Which is better ??? Hedge Fund vs. Global Fund

Dear Investors,


For those of us who understand hedge fund especially Man Fund has a long/short strategies which Global Fund like iCapital Global Fund has a long strategies (correct me if I am wrong).

Hedge Fund results from Man Fund based on month-to-month from Jul 07 till Feb 08





Taking the average 3 funds Series 12 OM-IP 220, OM-IP 2 Elcipse & OM-IP Vision at +6.43% , +22% & +1.65% = + 10%


And now compare to iCapital Global Fund !



If you look closer, icapital global fund manages only +1.57% and it compare itself to MSCI which perform badly.
So, if you looking purely from an apple-to-apple comparison i.e. on performance a fund with a long/short strategies like Man Fund will likely to do better than a fund with a single directional strategy ie long only .
Think about that !
