Really oogly: Citadel's main fund was down some 53% in 2008

Bet Ken Griffin is glad 2008 is mercifully over:

Citadel Investment Group's main hedge fund lost 53% for 2008, according to a person familiar with Citadel's preliminary estimates.

The $10 billion Kensington and Wellington funds lost about 9% during the first 24 days of December, punctuating the toughest year yet for Citadel founder Ken Griffin. That came after a 13% loss in November. In 2007, the fund was up 30%

A bright spot this year was Citadel's $3 billion market-making family of funds, which ended 2008 up about 43%, according to preliminary estimates.
