Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 Since there has been some talk here about a certain ashtanga practicing hedge fund manager featured in a New York magazine article here is a report from Institutional Investor on what the top hedge fund magagers made last year... ----------------------------- The top earner was Soros, who pocketed $700 million even though he only had a 13 percent return on his fund last year. Soros, who manages $7 billion, is said to give away over $500 million a year to charity. So he still had $200 million left over to play with. Among the other top earners are: * Bruce Kovner. With assets estimated at $5.5 billion, the chairman of Juilliard's board of trustees paid himself $500 million, Institutional Investor reports. But his Caxton Corp. fund managed to gain 30 percent. * Edward Lampert. The wunderkind of the markets, Lampert's Greenwich-based ESL Investments, was up by a jaw-dropping 53 percent - justifying his $445 million in earnings. Almost 85 percent of Lampert's $5 billion portfolio is concentrated in fewer than 10 stocks, including AutoZone. Go figure. * Steven Cohen. This day-trader commands exceptionally high fees due to the fact that he hasn't had a return of less than 30 percent in seven years. In 2001, he outdid himself with his $3.7 billion fund and gave himself a $428 million pat on the back. * David Tepper. The New Jersey head of Appaloosa management congratulated himself on 67 percent returns for his $969 million fund by boosting his bank account by $225 million. * Ken Griffin. The CEO of Chicago-based Citadel Investment Group is one of the few who doesn't pay himself 10 percent, settling for a modest 4 percent commission. But Griffin, who manages $7 billion, managed to net $215 million by the end of last year. And watch out: Griffin has hired several former Enron traders to help start up an energy trading business. * James Simon.This Long Islander's Renaissance Technologies Corp. racked up 33 percent in gains - leading to a $200 million payout. And finally, rounding out the club are Richard Perry of Perry Capital, who gave himself a $138 million payout, and Bermuda-based Munroe Trout of Trout Trading management Co., who banked $100 million.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 Interesting, but what exactly do you mean? That because a fellow makes 700 million a year, he can't be a real yogi? Well, now that you mention it... ashtangayoga, tiber33 <no_reply> wrote: > Since there has been some talk here about a certain ashtanga > practicing hedge fund manager featured in a New York > magazine article here is a report from Institutional Investor on > what the top hedge fund magagers made last year... > > ----------------------------- > The top earner was Soros, who pocketed $700 million even > though he only had a 13 percent return on his fund last year. > Soros, who manages $7 billion, is said to give away over $500 > million a year to charity.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Interesting how those who never make that kind of money act like they know how it feels to deny that position. How many here can actually be in such an unenlightening position and turn it down? ashtangayoga, "Gearhart, Margee" <mgearhart@s...> wrote: > They probably pay someone to do the yoga for them!!! > > > > > skysby [sMTP:no_reply] > > Thursday, June 13, 2002 8:30 PM > > ashtangayoga > > ashtanga yoga Re: Hedge Fund managers > > > > Interesting, but what exactly do you mean?
