AQR is the Hedge Fund with the Largest Gains of SWF Assets

AQR Capital Management was unusual in getting two citations in the inaugural Hedge Fund Hot 100 (see www.hedgefundinsight.org/the-hedge-fund-hot-100, entries 60 and 55), and further confirmation of the high status of the firm has just been shown by the work of the “Pensions & Investments” Research Centre. The magazine for institutional investors put together the Top 5 investment management firms with the largest growth of sovereign wealth fund assets for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2012. AQR was the only hedge fund firm in that Top 5, with a growth in SWF assets of over 170% last year.
