Hedge funds deliver strongest H1 returns in five years, Nishant Kumar notes
Hedge funds see five-year high returns

Nishant Kumar reports that hedge funds have posted their strongest first-half performance in five years, rebounding after a challenging March period that impacted some of the world’s largest firms.

The latest data highlights a significant recovery as the difficult period in March fades from view, with returns in H1 2026 outpacing previous years.

Earlier this year, Nishant Kumar reported that Millennium is set to back a new quantitative hedge fund led by former Citadel researcher Paul Dou, with potential assets exceeding $1 billion (link). He also covered the launch of a double-leveraged macro strategy by an ExodusPoint-backed hedge fund, which raised $1 billion and is nearing closure to new investors (link). These developments have come as firms continue to seek new strategies amid shifting market conditions.
