Insider Monkey introduced its daily Billionaire Hedge Fund Index today. We track nearly 400 hedge fund managers and prominent investors. Around 10% of these people are billionaires. We created this Billionaire Hedge Fund Index to track the top 30 holdings of these 39 billionaire fund managers. Warren Buffett, George Soros, John Paulson, Jim Simons, David Einhorn, Ray Dalio, and T. Boone Pickens are some of these fund managers. Each stock’s weight was in proportion to the number of billionaires who had at least $10 million invested in the stock.
