Hedge Fund returns | 2025

Any thoughts on this? Distressed / Macro players had a great year. I think Arini is missing somewhere? And maybe one other MM at the lower end of table due to data incompleteness?

I find Elliott/SPC to be more versatile and interesting places than, say at least C and M, but each on their own preferences!

 

I thought these HF returns are technically leaks, not intentional releases? Regardless, everything except AIA has been coming out yearly, and Pure Alpha is the flagship fund. 

 

Thank you. Anyone know the difference between the different Citadel funds? i.e. is one purely macro / commodities, or does each have everything/just different allocation proportions?
