The energy fund at Zimmer Partners posted its worst quarter ever after sinking about 46% in March as oil markets plunged.

The fund dropped 55% in the first quarter after losing money each month, according to an investor letter seen by Bloomberg. The fund, which ran $1 billion at the end of January, now has about $500 million in assets.
