NYT – Last year was fairly dismal for the hedge fund industry, almost any way you slice it. But according to a new report, one sector did remarkably well: hedge funds managed by women.
An index from the professional services firm Rothstein Kass showed that female hedge fund managers produced a return of 8.95 percent through the third quarter of 2012. By contrast, the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index, released by Hedge Fund Research, logged a 2.69 percent net return through September.
