These alternative investment managers sit a cut above the rest in terms of assets under management and reputation
“5 of the Top Hedge Funds in 2025: These alternative investment managers sit a cut above the rest in terms of assets under management and reputation”—U.S. News & World Report reporter Tony Dong, MSc, CETF reached out to include our thoughts and comments in his fun and insightful article.
Similar to what you see in public capital markets, there is a concentration amongst the hedge fund (HF) heavyweights; it is not just bulk and swagger, but also equates to sizeable management fees that can be thrown towards computer systems, risk controls, and talent in order to keep performing at scale. Funds mentioned include Bridgewater Associates, Man Group, Elliott Investment Management L.P., Millenium Capital Management, and Citadel.
QUOTED EXCERPTS
“Man Group is the James Bond of hedge funds; British, sleek, algorithmically suave and somehow still standing after two centuries (founded in 1783),” says Michael Ashley Schulman, chief investment officer of multi-family office Running Point Capital Advisors.
“Elliott Management is the hedge fund equivalent of the house guest who not only rearranges your furniture, but also changes the locks and tells your family how to behave,” Schulman says.
