Managers of the fund blamed this solely on the $3.3 billion in costs it incurred during the reorganization associated with its IPO.   <\/p>\n<p>However, the rest of the earnings report highlighted all the traits of a premier, up and coming hedge fund.  Far exceeding analyst&#8217;s expectations, distributable earnings came in at $505.5 million, or $1.27 a share, and assets under management were up 48% to $33.4 billion.  This resulted in management fees  of $135.1 million.  <\/p>\n<p>The firms Oz Master Fund has also posted some good numbers recently, up 11.48% last year in spite of a laggard S &amp; P 500 index.  The ability to post returns in spite of market conditions is one of the things that Daniel Och intended to do when he started the company in 1994.   <\/p>\n<p>Och explains, &quot;Our focus on delivering consistent, positive risk-adjusted returns throughout market cycles led to strong absolute net returns in our funds despite extremely volatile market conditions in 2007.&quot; <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Julie Scuderi<br \/>Senior Editor for HedgeCo.Net<br \/>Email: julie@hedgeco.net]<\/p>\n<p>HedgeCo.Net is a premier hedge fund database and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
