Camulos Capital, a Stamford-based hedge fund with approximately $2bn (£1.3bn) in assets, was one of the lucky ones. In late July, Camulos saw trouble looming on the calendar.

If too many investors fled – and there was $43bn (£28.6bn) withdrawn from US funds in September – the run on capital could have brought operations to a halt.
