Paul Singer, the billionaire founder of Elliott Investment Management, warned a room of hedge fund managers and large investors that there’s likely to be a disorderly unraveling of markets.

Singer said the bear market isn’t over and that a drop of 20% is likely not enough, according to people familiar with the discussion at the Managed Funds Association conference this week in Miami. The billionaire added that more than a decade of aggressive monetary and fiscal policies can’t be unwound in a year, said the people, who asked not to be identified describing a private event.
