JAT Capital: Fund Tries to Keep a Low Profile

Hedge fund JAT Capital did not report its performance through mid-October to HSBC Private Bank.  You may ask what is interesting about that.  An earlier article mentioned some reasons that a fund may not continue to report its returns.  It's interesting because JAT Capital, through September, was up 31% for the year and had the best returns in HSBC's rankings.  The average hedge fund has lost 5% in the same period.  John Thaler, manager of the fund, may be trying to keep a lower profile or may not need any more capital raised.  The long/short equity fund has $2 billion in assets under management.  That may be the limit at which his investing strategy is successful.
