OZM has a too high valuation compared to its assets under management. It is also loss making and does not distribute any dividend. It may go banrupt.

I'll have to refer to Barron's on this one: In regards to OZM, "few in the history of the asset-management industry have gotten so rich while generating such mediocre performance." And look at this: OZ Master Fund (OZM's flagship hedge fund) has returned 13.9 percent over the past 5 years, compared to the S&P 500's return of 15.5 percent. And these guys actually get away with charging 2 percent management fees, while taking 20 percent of the profits. Like the hedge funds it manages, this company should underperform.
