In addition, the firm reported strong performances for its hedge funds, which finished 2007 up double digits. Specifically, the Oz Master Fund, Oz Europe Master Fund, Oz Asia Master Fund and Oz Global Special Investments Master Fund returned 11.65%, 14.87%, 12.25% and 12.22% respectively through December 2007.
