According to a 2012 Financial Times article, hedge funds are increasingly making most of the short-term trades in large sections of the capital market (like the UK and US stock exchanges), which is making it harder for them to maintain their historically high returns, as they are increasingly finding themselves trading with each other rather than with less sophisticated investors.
Prema članku Financial Timesa , hedge fondovi sve više obavljaju većinu kratkoročnih poslova na velikim dijelovima tržišta kapitala (poput britanske i američke burze), što im otežava održavanje njihovi povijesno visoki prinosi, budući da se sve više nalaze u međusobnoj trgovini, a ne s manje sofisticiranim ulagačima.
