Drawdown limits at major HFs

Hi all,

I understand different HFs have different drawdown limits for AUM cut and dismissal (MLP seems to have the tightest). Could anyone give an idea what the range is for the major HFs and over what time periods are they applied (day, week)? Also are there different limits for different asset classes (fixed income vs equity)?

Thanks!

 

MLP has 5% soft stop, 7.5% hard stop from peak to trough. Fairly similar in other places. Bluecrest have the tightest around 2.5% with some PMs even being cut for being flat over a year

 

Was not comparing the two. Separate shops obviously run things differently, it’s always going to be apples and oranges. Alone, the statements stand true, you drop 2.5% at BC and you’re gone
