ISAM Systematic has sprinted into the finish of the HSBC Hedge Fund Weekly performance rankings and will claim the top stop in 2014, while activist investor William Ackman’s Pershing Square stumbled slightly as 2014 came to a close and will finish down -0.6 percent on the month in December.

 

ISAM Systematic up 11.87%

ISAM Systematic ended the month of December up 11.87 percent, finishing at 62.42 percent yearly performance as market price trends persisted in a consistent direction. (The HSBC official report contained typographical errors that incorrectly reported ISAM’s performance as 39.08 percent and turned the clock back, using a November 30 reporting date. ValueWalk confirmed accurate performance numbers with the hedge fund directly.)
