That's crazy.
I would've thought the hedge fund would be able to hide the capital gains tax (as they're a trader, and should be exempted from capital gains taxes), so you as an investor only pays capital gains tax when you withdraw.
This also implies that the investor doesn't get to carry forward capital losses, or use it to offset their own outside capital gains.
