Reuters – Even some strong hedge fund managers may not survive the ongoing credit crisis due to a lack of funding or credit, the president of hedge fund John W. Henry & Co. said on Tuesday.
"There are going to be some firms that have good strategies that were strong in terms of discipline and their strategy itself, but may not survive this because they don’t have the assets or the funding to be able to survive," Ken Webster, president of the firm, said at the Reuters Investment Summit in New York.
The hedge fund industry has been hit hard by the worst global financial and economic crisis in decades.
