Kyle Bass’s promotion machine- the more bearish he bets, the more money he raises.

It’s interesting to note Kyle Bass’s, Hayman Capital Advisors Form 13F filings.  I’ve posted his most recent one from Sept 30, 2011.  .  Now I’ve posted his Sept 30th 2010 return below where he had just a fraction of the money he manages now.  The more bearish Bass gets, the more money he raises. Perhaps he’s more wily than smart.  Hayman Capital Advisors AUM based on these filings has risen almost ten fold.  The most recent 13F filing counts $739.19 million dollars.  A far cry from the $73.4 million in the Sept 30th 2010 filing.  There’s nothing to suggest great money making prowess in these filings so it’s hard to understand how Bass has upped the ante so much.  In fact based on the Sept 30th 2011 bearish S&P puts, Mr. Bass could hand his investors losses that make John Paulsen’s 2011 -40% CAGR hedge fund returns look downright enviable if the market doesn’t crash before the end of the year.
