@Jocko, Is there a press release or public info? Laying off employees isn't exactly indicative of success.

@Darwin, It was always net of fees, (including in your original post) “The foregoing performance results are shown net of all fees”.

2009 was not a good year for Superfund, but given its track record – this may just be an inevitable bump in an otherwise stellar performing Fund Manager.

@Tennyson, This article's a year old. If they've updated their literature, that's great. At time of writing, this looked like a pretty lousy deal. Perhaps I'll revisit performance; I'm guessing they didn't keep up with other conventional investments this year either.

@Darwin, If you paid attention to what you read on Superfund's website, you would notice that the performance posted is NET OF FEES. And that includes the 25% incentive fee charged on the excess returns in the case of new All-Time-Highs.

I know this is an old post, but Superfund has laid off employees in Chicago.

If the discussion has continued, I would like to follow it.

Thanks,
