The most profitable mutual funds 2012 , Hedge funds.

I found it very interesting annual returns are able to get the big hedge funds, also known as the most profitable investment funds in the world.   We understand how big hedge funds who manage more than 1,000 million dollars. In the list we have the 100 with better performance in 2012 (from 01-01-12 to 31-10-12) and we can compare it with the result obtained in the previous year (2,011).
In the list we can see that most of Hedge Funds exceeds 1,000 million managed and some 5,000 million. The best-performing hedge funds have gained hover between 20% and 40%, which is not bad considering the vast amounts of capital managed.
In this post I put the list of the top 12, with photo of the manager and all data relating to the company, the name of the fund, the strategy used and the yields obtained. The full list of the 100 best in the big hedge funds you have it here .
