Top 100 Hedge Funds 2017

The Top 100 Hedge Funds for 2017

The top 100 hedge funds for 2017 have a combined $3.4 trillion in assets under management. The ten largest hedge funds are AQR Capital Management, Bridgewater Associates, Millennium Management, Citadel Investment Group, GS Assets Management, Wellington Management Company, Renaissance Technologies, Pine River Capital Management, DE Shaw, Fortress Investment Group. These names are familiar among the top 100 hedge fund lists of the past, however, there are some new entrants on to the top 100 hedge fund managers list in 2017.

Most of the top 100 hedge funds are multi-strategy, but this is not truly surprising, particularly among the largest of the top hundred since single strategy hedge funds are less likely to make the $11 billion minimum threshold to among the top 100.

Several of the top 100 hedge funds are outside the US. Prominent non-US funds to make the top 100 list include BlueCrest Capital Management, Capula Investment Management, and GAM Fund Management. Additionally, nine of the 100 largest hedge funds are from the UK.
