The tech-focused hedge fund apparently just started notifying people this morning, though investors have not been formally told yet. Performance has been “solid” and apparently no explanation has been offered for the shuttering at this time.

    STG informed investors two days ago, including the business reasons for the shutting down.

    they use to stress their “information” edge in meetings.

    And your source is…?
    Considering 95% of what you wrote is completely erroneous!!!
    Haha, journalists….if only it was as easy for us to make a buck.

    Some thoughts:

    - the multiple exclamation points and use of the term ‘haha’ really add a lot of gravitas to your comment.

    - rather than the vague “95% of what you wrote,” why don’t you tell me exactly what you believe is erroneous

    - it’s adorable that you are under the impression I would give anyone, let alone an anonymous commenter in a public forum, the name/ identifying details of a source. don’t quit your day job, sweet cheeks.

    Does it matter?

  41. Posted by CT | January 27, 2011 at 9:01 PM

    you’re weirdly fucking defensive. ever read an article about a hf or other company closing? generally a reason is cited; especially if business was going well.

  42. Posted by often | January 27, 2011 at 9:23 PM

    big redemption, dwindling aum, impossible to raise new capital, mentioning “information edge” in marketing meetings starting to raise eyebrows. the commentors are far more accurate than the news writer.

    I dismissed these people as idiots, years ago.

  44. Posted by Zzz | January 27, 2011 at 10:35 PM

    Source being current employee, letter, etc. Pretty simple question. Your ‘thoughts’ are irrelevant to the facts. I agree with Phatso.

  45. Posted by Guest | January 27, 2011 at 10:38 PM

    1. ‘far more’ = wild hyperbole considering two people offered vague theories as to what’s up
    2. it’s not really that shocking that dealbreaker, a site read by insiders, has people with intel (‘commentors’); Levin isn’t expected to know every detail of every fund. and i haven’t seen any other outlets report this (though tomorrow bberg and wsj will presumably have stories, having read the one on DB).

    Dearest Zzz,

    Are you an idiot or do you just play one in the comments section of Dealbreaker? “current employee,” would be an identifying detail as to who my source is, now wouldn’t it? as I’m not in the business of getting my sources in trouble, but rather, protecting them, that’s not info I give out. Ever read an article that merely quotes sources as being “familiar with the matter”? Same thing happening here.

    And it’s not surprising you agree with Phatso, considering you share an email address, IP and so on and so forth.
