Short post today: Barclays and fraudulent hedge funds

This is just a short post - to tie in some loose ends I have.

I wrote yesterday about Barclays Global Capital.

I have written twice about a fraudulent hedge fund (New World Capital management) - see here and here.

Barclays has developed quite a business marketing hedge funds. They compile a ranking of hedge funds. Here is the current ranking of their currency funds.

Now here is my sting: at one stage New World Capital Mangagement was ranked Number One on Barclays Hedge fund rankings.
