At least 83 US hedge funds shut their doors in 2006, according to a survey published by Absolute Return.
The largest of the closures was Amaranth Advisors’ Amaranth LLC, which also made history as the biggest-ever hedge fund shutdown.
Others included Archeus Capital Management’s Animi Master Fund, Sagamore Hill, and Citigroup Multistrategy Arbitrage/Saranac Arbitrage.
