Two particular funds that are still up over 20% YTD are both run by prot\u00e9g\u00e9s of Julian Robertson, the legendary founder of Tiger Management. <\/p>\n<p>Maverick Capital was founded by Lee Ainslie and the fund took a loss of 1.2% on the month according to a recent Reuters\u2019 article. Despite the loss on the month, the YTD gain still sits at 20.5%. Nehal Chopra\u2019s Tiger Ratan took a bigger loss in August, but still has a greater YTD return than Maverick Capital. Chopra\u2019s fund took a loss of 6.6% last month, but is still showing a gain of 21.6% YTD.<\/p>\n<p>True to the Tiger Management philosophy, both Maverick Capital and Tiger Ratan use stock picking to distinguish themselves from other funds. Apparently these two managers have used superior stock picking skills to show those returns in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Rick Pendergraft<br \/>\nResearch Analyst<br \/>\nHedgeCoVest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York (HedgeCo.net) \u2013 As the returns for August continue to roll in from various hedge funds, there have only been a handful that actually gained ground in August, but some funds are still reporting substantial year to date gains [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,3,16048],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hedgeco-networks-press-releases","category-hedgeco-news","category-hedgecovest-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49835"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49835\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49836,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49835\/revisions\/49836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
