The S&P 500 gained 29% last year, while the hedge fund sector saw an average 9% uptick, according to Bloomberg's Hedge Fund Indices.

Yet the top fund chiefs still enjoyed hefty profits as wealthy clients looked to smaller offices and unique strategies to deliver gains. Bloomberg used Securities and Exchange Commission filings, past reporting, firms' websites, and past calculations for the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The outlet assumed a 2% management fee and 20% performance fee for firms not disclosing fee information. Bloomberg's estimates included only the largest and"most material" funds within each firm.

Not all of the top 15 managers' top funds eked out positive returns over the past year. Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio brought in $1.3 billion less in 2019 compared to the year prior as his flagship fund lost money for the first time in 20 years, according to Bloomberg. All other managers in the top 15 brought in at least double-digit returns through their main funds.
