BlackRock Inc. took a gamble by breaking the 1 percent fee barrier for a hedge fund. Now it’s paying off.
The Style Advantage fund more than doubled its assets in the first half of the year to $1.6 billion, according to an investor document seen by Bloomberg News. It’s one of the cheapest funds in the industry, charging a 0.95 percent management fee and nothing for performance. Investors can pull cash with only three business days notice.
