After researching the performance of hedge funds run by women, Solovay claims    that the studies showed women fund managers performed consistenly better than those run by men.  <\/p>\n<p>    In an interviev with Reuert Stiener, one prospective investor said: \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cWhat she is trying to do is launch a business that capitalises on this inefficiency. She feels she can put together a fund of    outstanding female managers that don\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t have enough investment and build a successful product on the back of this research. Many of the male-run funds are closed whereas the female-run ones still    have capacity to take in money.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d  <\/p>\n<p>    She claims that the research showed that male-run hedge funds managers tended to shoot from the hip making big returns one year and poor ones the next. The research, which was undertaken over a    period of years, showed women produced more consistent long-term growth with less volatility than those managed by male fund managers. But the research also showed that women struggled to raise    the same levels of funding as men.  <\/p>\n<p>    Pomegranate identified more than 250 funds managed by women, investing in a range of strategies: long\/short equity, distressed, special situations, event-driven, global macro and arbitrage.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p align=\"left\">  &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">  Alex Akesson<br \/>  Contributing Writer<br \/>  HedgeCo.Net<br \/>  Email: <a href=\"mailto:Editor@hedgeco.net\">Editor@hedgeco.net<\/a>   <\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">\n<p align=\"left\">    HedgeCo.Net is a premier hedge fund database and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
