On track for their best showing since 2009, they are still lagging behind the MSCI China Index by the widest margin on record

IT WAS a good year for hedge funds betting on rising and falling stocks in Greater China. Just not good enough to beat a spectacular market rally.
Long-short equity hedge funds investing in the region returned an average 30 per cent through Nov 30 and notched this year's biggest gains among global peers.
