New York (HedgeCo.net) – After taking a beating in the press over the last few years, the hedge fund industry seems to be getting in a few shots of its own so far in 2015. Most hedge fund indices are showing the industry as a whole is pacing ahead of the S&P 500 and that was not the case in the last several years.
