Some Hedge Fund Trends (Capital Raising, etc). *Video*

http://www.bloomberg.com/video/startup-funds-struggling-to-raise-capita…

Pretty good video.

Cliffs:
- 2/20 model under pressure - LPs are going to compensate managers that are able to generate alpha perennially
- Mid-size and larger hedge funds are getting the most allocation
- start-up and smaller funds are having trouble raising capital

Hope it was an insightful video, she (Ingrid Pierce) has been on Bloomberg several times. You can search her to find more videos.

Here's an article in the Economist from a month ago, along the same lines. Starting a fund is tough. http://www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economic...

This fact should squash the mindless love relationship junior monkeys have with HFs:

Although over half of hedge funds manage less than $100m, they represent only 1.4% of the industry’s $2 trillion or so in assets, according to Hedge Fund Research, a data provider.
