Alpha‘s annual list of the Hedge Fund 100, the biggest single-manager hedge funds by AUM, is out today, and though it’s not as fun without the personal touch, it’s still a good time. The Top Ten was mostly a reshuffling of 2008′s names, with Man Group, Brevan Howard and Soros cracking the list, and Barclays Global Investors sadly getting knocked out, down to slot 12.
Nice work by Alpha but our criteria are a bit different and obviously yours are too. So, we give you Dealbreaker’s Top 10 Hedge Funds for 2009.
So I take it Stanford Asset, Madoff, et. al. are being rung up as DNF (Did not finish)?
So, how are the dealbreaker advertising revenues y-o-y? Pls break out the customer segment ‘recruiting’.
@2- better with every story you click and comment on, sweetums.
@3 i know, i’m here to help
Ken Griffin is not happy.
@1- they got an “I” for “incomplete” or a “W” for “withdrawn”.
Bess, great tag. Naturally.
how is Larry Robbins’ weight Y-O-Y?
Do chicks really dig big thick hedge funds?
I’d like to know the answer to @7, and also the same thing for steve cohen.
Lenny Dykstra is not amused.
do you think Jim Simons has smoked 5 packs of fags in response to this news (4–>10)?
Oh well. At least Falcone still has a bangin’ hot wife.
@13 speaks truth:

its interesting that Harbinger lost so much of their asset base YOY. Didn’t they have + performance last year?
Except those numbers don’t represent returns (or losses) – they just represent the change in assets under management. Some firms (like Farallon) were killed with redemptions because they were able to offer investors liquidity when others weren’t.
@17- and it said that they represented returns or losses where, exactly, in the post? see the tags. this is about straight up shrinkage, cut and dry.
@17- and how about citadel and glenview and GLG?
Could this be in a more annoying format? Anyone have this in Excel and willing to share?
Too bad you can’t “bolt on” profits!

Could you maybe give us a primer on bid/ask markets next?
Thanks.
@22 – problem isn’t the link, it’s inability to sort that’s the problem.
@cliff- who the hell would have this listed in Excel besides, I dunno, Alpha Magazine?
-@17
Thank you Dr Obvious.
@Cliff – Yes it could be in a more annoying format, on the other hand your whineyness could not be more annoying.
17 must be someone really smart and powerful.
If anyone actually purchased the whole list please post it somewhere or email it to me at guest@dealbreaker.com
I am amazed that no one has mentioned AQR.
OK, AQR!
-You’re welcome
@29- click the god damn link, the entire list is there
@20, sense of entitlement much?
size does matter … unless you’re AQR.
The numbers are worthless. How do they even know which firms are the top 100 unless they know all the large firms? If they know all the large firms, why not publish them all?
Most of the list is probably guess work. It is doubtful they even call most of the funds to seek verification.
