The SPX Raptor fund, the best-performing Brazilian hedge fund in the past two years, stumbled to a record monthly loss in November, stung by souring bets on everything from currencies to commodities.

The fund, run by Brazilian hedge fund manager SPX Capital, tumbled 11% after fees, its biggest monthly decline since it was launched in December of 2010.
