赢家 杰森•莫德里克 莫德里克资本管理公司 哈佛法学院高材生莫德里克曾在Contrarian Capital Management资本管理公司从事不良股票交易。2009年他建立了自己的基金——一支小型基金，目前资产管理规模2亿美元——迄今表现不错。莫德里克曾购买美国中小企业商贷机构CIT大笔债务，后来CIT走出了破产保护申请（Chapter 11）的阴影，为该基金带来200%的回报率。今年，他购入广告公司SuperMedia（前身是Idearc），2010年走出破产保护，给他带来了50%的回报率。消息人士称，尽管今年大多数基金都损失惨重，但Mudrick Capital自年初以来一直持平。 普拉卡什•纳拉亚南 萨巴资产管理公司 前德意志银行（Deutsche Bank）交易员纳拉亚南，掌管着博阿兹•魏因斯坦47亿美元的萨巴资本（Saba Capital）伦敦办公室，专注于交易欧洲信贷产品。“自从他加盟后，公司在欧洲市场上变得活跃多了，” 魏因斯坦称。纳拉亚南的真知灼见（最近，他同意大利银行进行了一项高利润率的交易）帮助萨巴笑傲同侪。该基金年初以来上涨了9%。 业绩下滑，但尚未出局 沙赫拉巴•艾哈迈德 Hutchin Hill Capital资本公司 这支20亿美元的基金目前下跌了3%，主要是因为重仓股票。但该基金2008-2010年的高回报率部分要归功于艾哈迈德，他是这支基金一位卓越的信用产品交易员，但他在2011年却不得不周旋于欧债漩涡中。一位接近Hutchin Hill的消息人士称，艾哈迈德的“才干堪比著名对冲基金SAC的斯蒂夫•科恩。他思维敏捷，反应迅速。他的盈利建立在成百上千个小胜利的基础上。”今年的一些小胜利包括信用和宏观策略交易。 克里斯•皮亚 皮亚资本管理公司 大宗商品交易员皮亚曾在路易斯•贝肯旗下的摩尔资本管理公司（Moore Capital）管理13亿美元资产，但他后来建立了自己的基金，专注于金属交易。皮亚看涨黄金，今年3月他正确地预测了9月底之前金价将达到每盎司1,900美元。然而，由于持有的板块股票，如静水矿业（Stillwater Mining）等表现滞后，皮亚资本管理公司（Pia Capital）今年下跌了14%，但这是这支基金第一年出现下跌。2012年，皮亚计划缩减股票交易，回归大宗商品。 年度最差 奎库•阿多博利 瑞银 涉嫌进行未授权交易、伪造文件的瑞银（UBS）交易员阿多博利称，自己的行为是“灾难性的误判”。你觉得呢？这让瑞银付出了25亿美元的代价，间接导致首席执行官郭儒博下台，阿多博利自己则跻身流氓交易员黑名单。 |
WINNERS Jason Mudrick Mudrick Capital Management Harvard Law grad Mudrick was previously at Contrarian Capital Management, where he traded distressed equities. He launched his own fund -- small, it currently has $200 million under management -- in 2009, and it's done well so far. Mudrick bought a large stake in CIT (CIT) debt, which rallied from Chapter 11 and generated a 200% return for the fund. This year he traded into SuperMedia (SPMD), an advertising company formerly called Idearc, which came out of bankruptcy in 2010 and made him a 50% return. Sources say Mudrick Capital is flat year-to-date, during a brutal year for most funds. Prakash Narayanan Saba Capital Management Former Deutsche Bank trader Narayanan runs the London office for Boaz Weinstein's $4.7 billion Saba Capital and focuses on trading European credit. "Since he joined, the firm has become much more active in the European markets," says Weinstein. Narayanan's insights (most recently, he established a highly profitable yield-curve trade in Italian banks) helped Saba outperform the industry. The fund is up 9% YTD. DOWN, NOT OUT Shahraab Ahmad Hutchin Hill Capital The $2 billion fund is down 3%, mostly because of large equity positions. But its great returns from 2008 to 2010 were thanks in part to Ahmad, the fund's exceptional credit trader, who in 2011 had to navigate the volatility in Europe. A source close to Hutchin Hill says Ahmad is "a trader I liken to [SAC's] Steve Cohen in terms of talent. He's fast and registers changes quickly. His P&L is hundreds of small wins." Some of those wins this year were trades in credit and macro strategy. Chris Pia Pia Capital Management Commodities trader Pia used to manage $1.3 billion at Louis Bacon's Moore Capital, but he launched his own fund and has maintained his focus on metals. Pia is bullish on gold, and in March he correctly predicted it would hit $1,900 an ounce by September. Pia Capital is down 14% this year because sector stock picks like Stillwater Mining (SWC) lagged, but this is its first down year. For 2012, Pia plans to scale back his equities trading and return to commodities. UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR Kweku Adoboli UBS Adoboli, who allegedly made unauthorized trades and faked documents at UBS (UBS), called his actions "disastrous miscalculations." Ya think? They cost the bank $2.5 billion, contributed to the ouster of CEO Oswald Gruebel, and put Adoboli on the list of rogue trader all-stars. |
