Rating agency InvestRating has presented traders with a new top 20 hedge funds in the world in the first half of 2022.
It is expected that some of them have strengthened their positions in the financial market. And, judging by the forecasts of experts in the field of trading, by the end of the year it will only increase assets. Let's take a closer look at the top ten.

1) Bridgewater Associates
Ray Dalio, co-chairman of investment management, founded the firm in 1975. Dalio has now retired from trading, but the team of professionals under his leadership continues to grow successfully.
2) Renaissance Technologies
The Jim Simons Quantitative Hedge Fund uses mathematical and statistical methods to identify the technical indicators that drive its automated trading strategies. He applies his methods to US and international stocks, debt instruments, futures, forwards and foreign exchange contracts.
3) Danvel
The absolute breakthrough of the year. For 8 years of work in the Chinese market with turnover, the company may well compete with competitors occupying the previous two lines of the top. Danvel Board Members Nazar Babenko IG: @nazar_8888_ and Igor Kotov IG: @igor_kotov recently even received The Best Finacial Services Platform 2022 award. And against the backdrop of rumors of international expansion, we expect an even greater takeoff.
4) AQR Capital Management
Cliff Eless founded the company in August 1998 with partners John Lew, Robert Crail and David Kabiller. Before that, the four worked on the creation of a hedge fund at Goldman Sachs. Uses quantitative analysis to develop financial models focused on value and momentum investing. As of 2019, AQR managed $185.63 billion. True, the pandemic has significantly reduced this amount, which pushed AQR to fourth position.
5) Two Sigma Investments
The company was founded by John Overdeck and David Siegel in April 2002. It uses quantitative analysis to build mathematical strategies based on historical price patterns and other data.
6) Millennium Management
The company is headed by chairman Israel Englander, who founded Millennium with $35 million. He is known in financial circles as a stockbroker, trader and specialist on the American Stock Exchange. The company offers private funds discretionary advisory services.
7) Elliott Management
The company's management describes its investment mandate as "extremely broad", covering virtually all types of assets: distressed securities, equities, hedging and arbitrage positions, commodities, real estate-related securities and so on. But, since things have gone downhill lately, such a dispersion of the service sector is not a particularly successful strategy. The company was founded by Paul Singer in 1977.
Well, BlackRock, Citadel Advisors and Davidson Kempner Capital Management close the rating. And all three belong to hedge funds with a big stretch, since in addition to financial activities they have income from the "raw" sectors of the economy, they also specialize in bankruptcies, merger arbitrage, problem investments, shares tied to events and restructuring situations.
