LONDON, February 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Ranging from single asset classes ,to macro, of the Top 10 performers, over a third made their returns (+25% avg.) from long/short and multi strategy according to a recent survey by Bloomberg.

They returned hedge funds +23% in 2012, or put another way, +73% vs. the MSCI World Index.
