The queen of hedge funds is absolutely killing it

Hedge fund manager Leda Braga took the reigns of BlueCrest Capital's spinoff computer-driven firm, Systematica Investments, last month and she's already killing it.

Braga, who, when she was president of BlueCrest, held the title of lady hedge fund manager with the most assets under management, earned her BlueTrend fund a 9.52 percent return last month, CNBC reported.
