And there are still five more months for investors to flee.

Hedge funds managed by people other than Ken Griffin have had a rough go over the last year or so. Returns stink. Inflows are essentially non-existent. The mortality rate is beginning to have the look of an extinction event, with the biggest names in the biz deciding the whole hedge-fund game isn’t for them anymore. They’re even getting shit upon from beyond the grave by Jeffrey Epstein.

Still, there was one bright spot, a potential light at the end of the tunnel: In spite of how bad hedge funds suck, institutional investors were all in. A third planned to increase their allocations, and just 13% planned to cut them. That inflow problem was gonna be a thing of the past!

So, how’s that going?

Investors yanked $8.4 billion in July, bringing net outflows this year to $55.9 billion, according to an eVestment report on Thursday. That’s up from $37.2 billion for all of last year…. Long/short equity funds are having the hardest time, with net outflows this year of $25.5 billion, according to the report.

And that’s not even counting the lite hedge funds.

Investors have fled these so-called liquid alternative funds, pulling more than $30 billion in the first half, the most since the 2008 financial crisis, according to data provider Eurekahedge.
