...change in hedge funds may not be entirely bad news for investors, either. According to NYU economist Brown, an industry shakeout could get rid of many undercapitalized or poorly managed funds, leaving remaining funds to consolidate. And the culling could even be healthy for the industry, says MIT's Lo, who draws an analogy from biology. "We've just seen a big meteorite hit," he says. "It will kill a number of species.
