New Hedge Funds in 2013

If you can handle the start-up risk, the best time to join a hedge fund is allegedly during its first couple of years. If you could have your pick, what newly launched hedge funds are good places to land?

Gray Fox Going Concern: Gray Fox:

Just look at their 13F from when they first launched, they had 10%+ positions in FB, GOOG, LNG, and AIG with initiations last Fall. This is a total guess but I would put them up 50-60% this year (and that may be a conservative guess).

I'm not going to say exactly, but their return this year is not that high.

Short book an issue?

You could say that

They're still doing pretty well though
