"Ganha" e perde

Por Pedro Correia

No ano passado, 25 de hedge funds ganharam US $ 22 bilhões. No entanto, foi um ganho paradoxal. Segue um exemplo:

David Shaw of D. E. Shaw, a firm that uses complex algorithms to determine its investments, made the list with income of $275 million, even though his biggest fund returned a paltry 2.45 percent and over all the firm lost 40 percent of its assets, the magazine said. AR Magazine said Mr. Shaw, who gave up day-to-day oversight of the funds in 2002, made the list because the firm charged a 3 percent management fee and took 30 percent of the investment gains.
