Few hedge fund managers have exploited the retreat from quantitative easing as spectacularly as Said Haidar.
His $4.3 billion Haidar Jupiter hedge fund soared about 19% in September, according to people with knowledge of the matter. That lifts his year-to-date returns to 274%, nearly four times the best-ever annual performance for the money manager since he started trading more than two decades ago, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private.
