Bloomberg – More than 80 percent of Asian hedge funds won’t be able to charge their investors performance fees after finishing 2008 below their peak net asset values, according to data provider Eurekahedge Pte.
About a third of the 1,000 regional hedge funds tracked by Eurekahedge had positive returns last year, compared with 82 percent in 2007, the data provider said, citing figures from Jan. 30 when about 90 percent of funds had disclosed December returns.
