As previously noted, it has been a bad year for some of the marquee hedge fund names, with Einhorn's Greenlight Capital down 21% YTD, and as reported last night, Ackman's Pershing Square is not doing much better and as of November 30, was down 20.8%.
However, even if outside investors wanted to cash out they may have limited options: according to Bloomberg, "certain investors in Ackman’s Pershing Square Capital Management can only take out one-eighth of their money every quarter, meaning it takes two years to exit completely. At the end of 2014, those restrictions applied to clients accounting for about a third of the firm’s $18 billion. About another third was permanent capital from a share sale last year."

Och-Ziff, run by Dan Och, saw $4.2 billion leave its $30 billion multistrategy funds in the first nine months of 2015. Its biggest fund is little changed this year. The firm could face more withdrawals in 2016, depending on the outcome of an investigation by the U.S. Justice Department into whether it broke bribery laws in accepting an investment from the Libyan Investment Authority. Och-Ziff has told investors the matter is likely to be resolved next year, according to a person briefed on the matter.
