In the thick of it
Hedge funds must be getting used to being at the centre of negative attention.
However, even after 18 months which have seen them blamed for the credit crisis, infuriate investors by blocking redemptions and subject to a host of new rules designed to put a leash on the sector, it seems there are still ways to ruffle the feathers anew.
Chris Addison, stand-up comic and Malcolm Tucker’s “unbaked gingerbread man” at the heart of BBC satirical comedy The Thick of It, managed to leave mouths agape with a joke at a recent corprate gig for hedge fund traders, according to an interview in today’s Guardian.
