Risky business

Citadel Capital has assets of $12.8 billion. So far this year their costs have totalled over $5.5 billion. Investors pay all costs. That's about 43% for operating costs. Tack on another 20% of profits. Many hedge funds leverage their portfolios by borrowing $3 to $8 for every $1 in assets that they have.

Is this risk worth a 20% return?
