Top Under The Radar Hedge Funds?
I hear quite frequently that some of the best performing hedge funds are those that fly under the radar and are relatively unknown to the general public. I was wondering if anyone knew any of these such funds? I am sure it would be of use to the community to have a better idea of the HF space and widen our view beyond that of the typical Citadels of the world.omegle xender
Bump!
Millennium and 2 sigma come to mind
Those are two of the most on the radar hedge funds out there
.
I'll bite - some Boston-based names fit this mold: Abrams, Stockbridge, Atreides, and ShawSpring come to mind.
Atreides and Shawspring are quite small right? And Stockbridge is part of Berkshire Partners. Abrams I imagine most people know, as it's one of only two Baupost spin-offs (at least as far as I know). I'd argue Bracebridge is a large under the radar HF in Boston.
Shawspring grew to over $1b over the past year thanks to their position in Carvana among others.
What's the other Baupost-spinoff?
Shawspring is nearing 2B and that Atreides is 4.5B (might be ~3B unlevered)
Agree they aren't no-name, but the funds are hardly mentioned on forums like this and seem like terrific performers
I don't know if they are technically a hedge fund but Gilder Gagnon Howe & Company. I found out they existed literally today and apparently they have $24bn AUM and have been hodling TSLA since 2010? Insane, if anyone knows more about them please comment a reply.
Best performers will almost always be on the radar. Whether it's the big SMs, MMs, big quant funds or supposedly "secretive" funds like Rentech or TGS, they're all on the radar. Not possible to hide from publicity when you're consistently outperforming on a risk-adjusted basis for many years.
There will be funds that pop performance numbers higher than the above once in a while, usually through more risk and luck but not consistently.
If you're talking about small shops $1 billion, then sure, there's so many of those that there will always be one that had a stellar return last year and you can call it under-the-radar.
But among big funds, TGS is probably the closest thing to under-the-radar, in the sense that most rumors claim they've been as profitable as RenTech for decades yet they get only a tiny fraction of RenTech's publicity.
TGS is a fairly insane story. Wonder what else is out there that hasn't yet got uncovered
There’s a fund called Atreides?
heard they have a 3x levered swap position in the spice melange
