Date: end-2007
Source: Alpha Magazine
Base: All hedge funds in the world as measured by total monetary assets under management.
Notes: The largest hedge fund by end 2007 was JP Morgan Asset Management, some US$9 billion bigger than its nearest rival Bridgewater Associates. Only one purely European-based hedge fund made the list, GLG Partners - a 'pure' hedge fund that floated the year previously. None of the top ten hedge funds of the 1990s made the 2007 list.
