Cliff Asness' hedge fund has been hiring in London. : In hedge fund terms, AQR Capital Management is a giant. It has 800 or so employees globally, $185bn in assets under management, and earned profits of $530m last year – more than the world’s biggest publicly-traded hedge fund Man Group. By comparison, the London operation of the hedge fund run by billionaire Cliff Asness, is a tiny speck. It made £4.7m ($6.2m) on revenues of £20.4m ($27m) in the year ending December 2016, according to new accounts released on Companies House this week, up from £3.4m ($4.5m) in 2015.
