Who's The Biggest Loser - Perhaps This High-Flying Hedge Fund

August 11, 2011

While 2011 has been no picnic for investors, it's probably worse for hedge fund giant John Paulson.  When August started, his leveraged flagship funds were down 15% and 20%, respectively.  Through Friday, 8/5, they had fallen further - down 21% and 31%, respectively. 

Those figures don't include this week's down-up-down performance.  It doesn't help that Paulson’s hedge fund has significant exposure to financial companies.

Usually, "misery loves company," but these days even that axiom doesn't help.  [Dealbook, 8/10/11]
