Anson Funds was mentioned as one of the best in Zerohedge’s ‘Here are the Best and Worst Hedge Funds of 2022’
Excerpt:
“…One hedge fund which we were unfamiliar with, yet which has posted solid returns not just in 2022 but also in prior years, is the $1.6 billion Anson Funds. What we find most impressive, is not so much the fund’s 2022 return (where it’s 7.6% return still made the top 5%-ile of all funds for the year) but its performance in the prior two years, when it posted 40%+ profits in both 2020 and 2021. Just as remarkable: in its 15 year history, the fund has had just one down year (no, it wasn’t 2008)…
… allowing it to generate a 800% total return since 2007.
…Among the fund’s short positions are what it dubs “Retail momentum and stock promotion”, as well as high valuation on poor businesses or fads, and companies that exhibit fraudulent behavior, while longs are companies with strong secular tailwinds, as well as positive price momentum and attractive valuations.”
