Obviously..........

With so many of the top tier hedge funds opening up to new investors the writing is on the wall. The guys I talk to every day, day in and day out, all are in agreement. Equity returns are poised to slow down. The massive performance fees (20% to 50% of profits in some cases) on billions and billions of dollars are not in the cards so a 2% management fee is better than a stick in the mud. That is not to say the derivatives traders, the futures players, the arb guys, the bond daddy's all will have their day. Just not this year.
