Even one of the world’s steadiest hedge funds can’t escape the coronavirus-fueled market carnage.

The worldwide sell-off since last month has left London-based hedge fund LMR Partners down about 3% for 2020 through last week, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be named because the details are private. It’s the worst start to a year in about a decade of trading for the $4.6 billion fund, which has never lost money over a 12-month period.
