So what's in a hedge fund track record?
When hedge fund managers talk about their track record, it is usually to convey the sense that they have ‘experience’ in managing money or that their investment process produces results. The fund manager may have performed well but fared poorly relative to their peers. They might actually have a long hedge fund track record of doing poorly in challenging markets. Or perhaps they have just managed to stay above water when others have performed much better over the same period. A track record in isolation does not paint the full picture of the journey that the hedge fund or its manager has travelled to get it to where it is.
