We now have a large sample of managers to highlight the best and worst managers for May 2021. Clearly, most of the volatility happened with Cryptos, but even here, we saw managers that managed to ride out the volatility and deliver positive returns (although most of them were negative). The Top 10 and Worst 10 funds for the last month are shown below. This is based on our proprietary composite data streams but may contain errors. These are not filtered for Asset Under Management and are ranked on a simple return metric without adjusting for volatility. We only rank funds that have reported returns for the current reporting month. AUM within brackets.
