Highest paid HF manager 2020

The list for last years highest earning HF managers just came out. With Covid-19 coming a real force within the market it’s revealibg power players.

If we look at Boaz Weinstein he’s definitely made the best move overall as all his funds are up for the year. One being 175%, amd another one today being 85%, I’m pretty sure he’ll be on the list for next year.

Also bill ackman made 10,000% profit one trade netting $2.7B from $26M credit trade.

Who all do you think we’ll be on there?

Yeah but we also don’t know what other bets he’s made aside from his recent one. The year ahead won’t be an easy one but no one saw his 58% return last year coming. He could have a turn around for this year and make similar returns as well.

 

exactly. which ties in to all the media outlets/public throwing shade at him the past couple of days for profiting off of a disaster, which i don't see the reason for. he runs a hedge fund...hedging is what he's supposed to do.
