ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero
by Tyler Durden It's shaping up as one of those years for hedge funds. A little over three months into the new year, retail investors (as measured by a basket of retail favorite names) is up almost 20%, the S&P is up a little over 8% while he dge funds have barely managed to generate any returns.

It was only in the past week when Goldman Prime found that Equity Fundamental L/S hedge funds rose +2.92% globally... ... that year-to-date performance finally tipped into the green by a minuscule +0.05%.
