During the six-month period surrounding a hedge fund manager’s divorce, his investment performance is an annualised 4.3 percentage points lower than previously, on average, according to a Wall Street Journal report of an unpublished study of 98 marriages and 76 divorces of hedge fund managers. For two years after a divorce, performance lags by 2.3 percentage points annually when adjusted for risk, the Journal says.
