Hedge-fund inflows plunged 64% in Q4 (admittedly off a record Q3 pace of $44.5 billion – and no doubt impacted by the implosion at Amaranth), according to Chicago-based Hedge Fund Research Inc. Still, net deposits were $126.5 billion in the full year, the most ever and more than double the $46.9 billion raised in 2005. Moreover, total hedge fund assets increased 29% to $1.43 trillion as of December 31. Hedge funds returned an average of 1% from April through September. Funds returned 13% for 2006, compared with 15.8% by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, the firm said.
