Reuters – Hedge funds betting against China have earned outsized returns this year by shorting mainly property and auto stocks and positioning their portfolios to benefit from a feared hard-landing by the world’s second-biggest economy.
The winners include the $1.7 billion Dragon Billion China Fund, which returned 13.5 percent up to end-October, and the $60 million Ariose China Growth Fund, which gained 35 percent, according to sources familiar with the funds’ performance.
