贏家

????阿爾伯特?弗萊德博格

????弗里德貝格全球宏觀對沖基金

????漲幅54%

????阿爾伯特?弗萊德博格似乎和如今的對沖基金經理形象壓根挨不上邊——他今年65歲，工作在多倫多的小辦公室里，而不是在康涅狄格州的格林威治或曼哈頓中城。但實際上，他從事交易大宗商品的歷史可追溯至20世紀70年代初。自從2001年自設全球宏觀基金（Global Macro Fund）以來，他的平均年回報率為19%。今年，弗萊德博格押注火爆的巴西、印度股市將下跌，歐洲銀行股的跌幅會超過工業股以及通脹保值的美國國債將繼續上漲（目前他仍持有相關交易）。他當前的投資主題是一個可怕的前景：如果歐洲不能同心協力，歐洲將迎來大范圍的信貸危機，引發全球性經濟衰退，他認為出現這種局面的概率超過50%。

????蔡斯?柯爾曼

????老虎環球基金

????漲幅40%

????柯爾曼的合伙人們由于秘密投資科技股，被人們戲稱為“刺客”。這位現年36歲、面對媒體仍顯羞澀的年輕人因投資Facebook和商務社交網站LinkedIn早期股權而贏得普遍贊譽。2011年，老虎環球基金（Tiger Global）還因為大量持有蘋果公司（Apple）和俄羅斯互聯網公司Yandex的股票而獲益。

????約翰?薩勒

????JAT 資本

????漲幅31%

????今年熱錢涌入JAT資本（JAT Capital），致使其資產規模擴大了兩倍至30億美元左右。薩勒曾擔任銀行業分析師，2007年創立了JAT資本公司。他由于賣空中國互聯網公司以及做多Priceline.com、Wynn Resorts等旅行類股而獲得巨額回報。

WINNERS

????Albert Friedberg

????Friedberg Global Macro

????Up 54%

????Albert Friedberg hardly conjures up the modern-day hedge fund manager -- he's 65 and works from small offices in Toronto, not Greenwich, Conn., or Midtown Manhattan. But he's been trading commodities dating back to the early 1970s, and since opening his Global Macro Fund in 2001, he has posted 19% average annual returns. This year Friedberg wagered that hot stock markets in Brazil and India would fall, European banks would crash harder than industrial stocks, and inflation-protected U.S. Treasuries would continue their rise (a trade he's continuing to ride). His current investment thesis is a scary proposition: Europe is headed for a massive credit implosion, after which the world falls into a global depression. If Europe can't get its act together, he puts those odds at more than 50%.

????Chase Coleman

????Tiger Global

????Up 40%

????Coleman's partners are affectionately known as "assassins" for their stealthy tech investments. Early stakes in Facebook and LinkedIn (LNKD) won praise for the press-shy 36-year-old, and in 2011, Tiger Global benefited from huge positions in Apple (AAPL) and Russian tech company Yandex (YNDX).

????John Thaler

????JAT Capital

????Up 31%

????Hot money poured into JAT Capital this year, tripling its assets to some $3 billion. Thaler, a former bank analyst who founded JAT in 2007, posted huge returns with short positions in Chinese Internet companies and by going long on travel stocks like Priceline.com (PCLN) and Wynn Resorts (WYNN).
