Links: September Hedge Fund Performance, Highland, etc.

Some quick links to items of interest:

• Defaults coming in Brazilian agriculture (EMII)
• The Subprime Panic (SSRN)
• Peer-to-peer lending hits a hurdle (NYTimes.com)
• American’s largest asset managers (EMII)
• Highland funds totalling $1.5-bllion to shut (Bloomberg)
• Credit Suisse/Tremont Hedge Fund Index is sown in September, including short-bias funds (MarketWatch)

As a related side, while shorts struggled in September in part because of the on-again off again bans, if any dedicated short bias funds are not positive in October they should be liquidated immediately.
