Victoria Barret says:

Hedge funds beat market returns. But these funds compensation structures mean lean times for managers and staffers. This will hit real estate and luxury good sales in high-end zip codes.

year through Oct. 9, compared with the 38 percent decline by the
<A href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=MXWO:IND">MSCI World Index</A> of stocks. It was the worst performance by the

according to Hedge Fund Research. This year's <A href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=HFRXGL:IND">investment losses</A>
mean many funds won't be able to collect performance fees,
usually 20 percent of gains, while management fees, usually 2
percent of assets, will shrink.     </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/553AD9E2-395D-4F5B-858D-211AE07C8F51/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
