For my upcoming hedge fund, the target is 20% return net of all fees.
How does that compare with the top hedge funds in the world?
My role models are:
Jim Simons Renaissance - 11.2% (Better than my 10.2% by 1%)
Two sigma Absolute Return - 11% (Better than my 10.2% by 0.8%)
Citdael - Not even on this list (I am better in terms of 10.2% distributions made)
Two Sigma Spectrum - 7.6% (I am better in terms of 10.2% distribution made)
Note: I checked Citadel again, and their Wellington fund returned 2.5% during 1H2025 (Source) so my distribution of 10.2% is better. Historically, Q3 is a slower quarter but we should still hit our monthly 1.7% target consistently.
The most profitable quarter is usually Q4.
As I continue to refine my investment models, I expect the return distribution to be more consistent in 2H 2025.
The most interesting thing is that Jim Simons and Two Sigma are hitting around the 20% target like clockwork.
While these hedge funds don't provide distributions, my goal is to provide such distributions consistently and predictably.
Cheers,
Eric

In July, my goal is to help 15 people without a financial background to master investing through Investing Accelerator.
Investing Accelerator is designed for people without a financial background.
The goal is to achieve 30% return per year.
In the first phase, you will learn long term investing and targeting 30% for tax free compound growth. This will help accelerate your overall wealth.

If you are interested, then let's hop on a call to see if you can benefit from the strategies in Investing Accelerator and get 30% per year. During the call, we will map out exactly how you can achieve 30%, what you are lacking, how you can improve. If you have any questions about the program, you can ask during the call as well.
