Eleven percent.

According to Goldman's Hedge Fund Trend Monitor, put together by Amanda Sneider, that's the number of hedge funds who have outperformed the S&P so far this year.

That's down from 26 percent last year ... and last year was considered rough.

A few other facts about hedge funds from the report:

  • 20 percent of hedge funds have absolute losses year to date.
  • Hedge fund net long exposure fell to 42 percent in June 2012. That's down from 49 percent in Q1.
  • Hedge funds are most exposed to consumer discretionary stocks and information tech.
  • The most popular big hedge fund sock is Apple.
  • Next is Google.
  • Exxon Mobil is the biggest short of the hedge fund community.

This is a chart showing the distribution of hedge fund returns.
