TREE NEWS reports: Greg Coffey’s Kirkoswald Asset Management main hedge fund lost about 6.4% in October, its worst monthly performance on record. The losses were driven primarily by wagers on Brazil, following President Lula’s re-election.
Kirkoswald Hedge Fund Loses 6.4% in October, Worst Month on Record
The significance here is concentration risk rather than the headline drawdown itself: a single-country macro bet tied to a political outcome drove the fund's worst month on record, showing how quickly event-driven conviction can turn against a manager. It matters most for Kirkoswald's investors and for allocators watching whether political catalysts in emerging markets remain a reliable edge. Whether Coffey trims or doubles down on the Brazil position, and how the fund frames the loss to its investor base, is the open question worth watching.
