Andreas Halvorsen is ranked No. 5 in the world
London-based fund of funds LCH Investments, a subsidiary of Edmond de Rothschild Capital Holdings Limited, recently released its annual top 20 "most successful money managers" list for 2015.
The list measures net gains, after fees, of hedge fund managers since their respective fund's inception. We've included the top seven hedge fund managers below.
Collectively, these titans have made their investors net gains of $199.5 billion since they began their funds. Last year, they raked in $5.1 billion as a group. Two of the top fund managers had a losing year in 2015.
