A Bunch Of Hedge Funders Got Totally Clobbered


BusinessInsider writes that May was not a pretty month for many investors as uncertainty from the Eurozone and mixed economic growth data for the U.S. affected market sentiment, and that meant hedge funds also became victims.

Data from Bloomberg showed that hedge funds were down an average of 2.9 percent in May, though the stock market was a lot worse, with the S&P fallng 6.3 percent last month.  But when we get into specifics, the situation looks even worse for some of the most prominent hedge fund managers these days. Here's a rundown (from Reuters, Bloomberg)—

Whitney Tilson's T2 Partners: - 13.6 percent
Bill Ackman's Pershing Square: - 7 percent
Dan Loeb's Third Point: - 2.6 percent
Paul Singer's Elliot Management: - 1.4 percent
