The 25 biggest long short hedge funds manage $682 billion in assets as of early 2021. 84% of the top l\/s hedge funds are based in the United States. 60% of the largest long\/short funds are based in New York.<\/p>\n
With $216 billion in AUM, Value Partners is the largest long\/short hedge fund manager in 2021 (though only a portion of this is invested in long\/short strategies). Lighthouse Investment Partners and Viking Global Investors rank two and three, respectively, among the biggest long short hedge funds.<\/p>\n
Long\/short hedge funds take both long and short positions in securities. This can take the form of a market neutral strategy where long and short positions have approximately the same exposure, or as long-biased strategies such as 130\/30. Long\/short funds use a number of financial instruments including futures, options, debt, and equity.<\/p>\n
The below list of top long\/short hedge fund managers includes hedge fund companies operating at least one hedge fund vehicle investing using a long\/short strategy.<\/p>\n
