 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT
Hedge fund manager John Paulson lost more than half of the capital in one of his firm's biggest funds, according to Reuters; his Advantage Plus fund, which was the firm's worst performer through 2011, ended the year down roughly 52 percent. In 2010 that portfolio ended up 17 percent; adding insult to injury, his Advantage Fund, which is the unlevered version of the Advantage Plus Fund, dropped 36 percent after an 11 percent gain in 2010.
While 2011 was horrible for John Paulson, it was not for Kenneth Griffin, who runs hedge fund firm Citadel. Griffin who has had his share of heavy losses during the financial crisis, boasted double-digit returns with his Kensington and Wellington funds gaining 20.4 percent. Citadel's $1.5 billion high frequency trading fund surged 37.7 percent and the $2.0 billion global equities fund gained 21.4 percent.
