Hedge funds: loss in value

Now that's a thorny hedge!

Goldman Sachs Investment Partners, a Goldman Sachs owned hedge fund launched in January this year, has lost close to $1 billion till September. The fund had close to $6 billion in assets under management. The loss is about 15% of its value. The average hedge fund lost roughly 19% in value this year, according to data from Hedge Fund Research. Most of the losses of the Goldman Sachs hedge fund came from investments in commodities, basic materials, metals, mining, energy and agriculture. The fund also faced losses from investments in convertible bonds and the fall of investment banks, which acted as prime brokers and lenders. Also, redemption pressures by clients have forced hedge funds to close their illiquid positions at a loss. In September alone clients withdrew a record $40 billion from hedge funds. Bans on short-selling are further adding to woes for hedge funds and consequently, for their investors.
