Hedge Funds' Year Still Getting Worse

Hedge Funds' Year Still Getting Worse

In the world of hedge funds, it is harder to hide from the financial crunch.

Since the crunch began, these elite money managers have generated strong returns by focusing on areas such as commodities, emerging-market stocks or betting against troubled banks.

But as hedge funds as a group look set to turn in their worst monthly performance since July 2002, even those investment strategies that had been doing well have run into trouble. Some previously highflying funds are sustaining declines in the double digits. Several managers are down more than 20% for the year.
