As stocks plunge on coronavirus, hedge funds can brag: ‘we’re down less!’ GlobeInvestor

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.This week’s stock market plunge on coronavirus worries has given hedge fund managers a rare opportunity to brag that they are performing better than traditional stock market funds during a time of market stress.

Enviable returns of low-cost index funds and brokerages moving to zero-commission structures have only underlined the pain.
