Times Online – One of the most senior fund managers at Prudential has attacked hedge funds as selfish and devious and blasted derivatives as “the scourge of the modern age”.
Tom Dobell, who manages the £3 billion Recovery Fund for M&G, the insurer’s asset management unit, made the remarks in letters sent this month to the fund’s 100,000 investors.
The salvo came amid evidence that hedge funds are poised to deliver their best first-half returns in a decade, bouncing back from a disastrous spell last autumn.
