noted in the Economist's weekly roundup:
*Hedge funds* saw assets jump by a total of $120 billion in the third quarter, the biggest rise in three years, according to Hedge Fund Research, which monitors the industry’s performance. Total assets invested in the hedge-fund industry stood at $1.77 trillion.
What exactly is the significance of this? Is the asset growth a combination of new investment and better returns? ___________________________________ http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/mailman/listinfo/lbo-talk
