Talk:Dillon, Read & Co.

DRCM
Adding sourced explanation for closure of DRCM. Removing unsourced information about earnings - earnings of 1.2bn for UBS seem unlikely given that the total fund size was only $4.5bn? Removing note about performance for 2007. Given that the fund lost $124M in the first quarter, and the positions continued to lose $3B by the end of the year I don't think it can be classed as one of the best performing multi strategy funds for that year. Where is this figure of 16.6% after fees coming from? The Bloomberg article states 11% after fees. --Dilaudid (talk) 17:17, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

read the annual report...yes that is the correct earnings. the 3 billion number is incorrect. The 16.5% number is in the Board of Director's letter sent to investors of Dillon Read. This was a white wash by UBS to hide it's many sins...dont do the dirty work for the inept management team that is responsible for the fall of UBS!!!

A later bloomberg article in August 2008 has the correct 16.6% number as does the business week article in March 2008. Below is the BOD letter so please leave this page alone

TO: Shareholders of Dillon Read Financial Products Fund Ltd Limited Partners of Dillon Read Financial Products U.S. Fund L.P. FROM: The Board of Directors September 11, 2007 Dear Investors: You have already been advised by Dillon Read Capital Management (DRCM) that the final external audit of the Fund is complete and that the final payment of the redemption proceeds is being processed and will be paid shortly by the Administrator of the Fund. We regret the slight delay in making the final payment resulting from some minor delays in the audit process. Nonetheless, the Board of Directors felt it important to conduct the external audit to ensure full transparency and independence in ascertaining the NAV. This was necessary, in our judgment, both to protect the interest of the Fund and its investors as well as to ensure the integrity of the NAV calculation as of April 30, 2007. The DRCM financial staff and Ernest & Young performed professionally and worked hard to get the audit completed. We are pleased that the Funds have generated positive returns for investors from inception through April 30. Based on the final NAV, the net return for the Fund for 2007 through April 30 was 9.7% (not annualized) for both Class A and B shares, after fees and expenses. For the six-month period, November 2006 though April 2007, the net returns (not annualized) were 16.5% and 15.5% for Class A and Class B shares, respectively, after fees and expenses. You may recall that Class B shares were not permitted to invest in !hot issues." We take this opportunity to commend the excellent results by the DRCM management and staff, and wish them individually the best of luck in their future pursuits. Finally, we wish to thank you, the investors, for your patience and support throughout the past year. Very truly yours, Board of Directors
