Hedge Funds Feeling the Crunch

Looks like hedge fundare the next in line to start tightening their belts and letting people go. Dozens of workers were given the bad news yesterday, on top of recent layoffs at both Ramius Capital and Perry Capital, two of the big players in the industry. Interestingly, a spokesperson for Ramius commented only on the recent “key hires” they’ve made. Apparently mum was the word about the employees who got the axe.
