he's sticking with steve cohen. why is that? 26% annual returns -- annualized returns after fees and expenses. we should point out he has the highest fee and expense ratio in the business. he charges you 3% right off the top as a management fee. then he takes 50% of the profit. and he still returns 26 -- 26%. done this since 96. that's why ed butowski wants to put money in. people inside asc tell me -- people inside sac tell me -- by the way, if in is a spin job, i have stupid spin stuff on my twitter page, i will say this, they didn't call me. they didn't want me to do the story. they were not happy about it. this wasn't something that was leaked to me, you know what i'm saying? i spoke with some investors and they say this is one of the plans to counteract this. i think it sounds logical to me. people are going to put money in. take money out. they've got some people that really want to put money in. liz: well the gates open both ways. okay, so some people are leaving, others who might be less risk averse want to get in. >> ri

that's the point -- i mean why are they going after steve cohen?that is kind of your opinion and their opinion. liz: that's their opinion. that's not my opinion. >> here's my belief on insider trading. he may go to jail he may not. i have a feeling they are not going to get him on this. i also have a feeling when martoma spoke to him he didn't say hey steve i have some insider information on this one. liz: they are smarter than that. >> they talk in a code. at sac capital they ask you about your conviction level, number 10, that's -- liz: got inside stuff. >> who knows. i'm just telling you this while they are going after this, there are real rip-offs going on. insider trading is not a rip-off. liz: charlie thank you very much. closing bell ringing in 17 minutes. if you are an investor waiting on the side lines, too scared a year ago, time to get into the game, at least that's what carol pepper of pepper international is telling her high net wealth clients. she has more than a billion in assets that she is in charge of. we're bringing her in to tel

they seem to be implicating steve cohen personally.e has said he and the firm did not do any insider trading and they have another story to tell that involves lack of economic exposure to those stocks falling. they are in the cross-hairs in a new uncomfortable way despite an investigation that's years old. >> kate stick with us. dr. j, reaction? >> at 30% because what kate just reported is about 30% of outside capital being withdrawn or asked to leave, they want to leave, but they will be gated some of that until the end the year. i think if you're a fund to funds that has allocations at sac, you have that gourn head. you need the performance but on the other hand you don't need the headache of what steve cohen. so although i think he's a great manager a lot of folks didn't want to deal with the hassle and that's why they exited. >> talk to me about controversy versus performance when it comes to big money guys putting fwhoerng in a hedge fund. >> you're sitting in your chair getting calls from clients. do you have money in sac. why? i

steve cohen has 6 billion. partners have another two billion. formidable without the outside money. the big things, guys, is the indictment. and will the statute of limitations run out. i tell you that july date is pretty key. that's when it is over. if they don't bring a case against him by july, what a lot of big investors are saying they probably won't bring a case because a lot of these charges stem from 2008, and before. and by the way, there is five years for you right there. that's where we are right now. may is a big date in terms of redemptions. if they think that, that cohen could get indicted between may and june and may and july, you could see a lot more money coming out. billions. i would say much more than 1.7 billion. it all depends. does the guy that has been indicted on that one big kise does he flip and doesn't look like he will. listen, this is a bet. like the market. the betting right now is that every day it gets closer to july, money will not come out. steve cohen survives. ashley: charlie, quickly, you can only take out 25

during this year's state of the union address, representative steve cohen was spotted tweeting.ou might say it's a little disrespectful to be tweeting while the president's speaking but there he was busily tweeting away. especially if you're sitting right in front of the president. that is not what raised eyebrows. what was more shocking to people was who was on the other end of that tweet, a 24-year-old bikini model. "happy valentines day, beautiful girl." and "i love you." that prompted a member of staff to quickly explain the woman was a daughter of a long-time friend, and they're pretty much like family. something didn't smell right there. as you can imagine most people did not buy that explanation, and many people assumed it was an older congressman in a secret relationship with a younger woman. then the truth came out. she is his daughter. >> knew her mother a long time ago, i'd been to an event where i thought about her mother. i liked her mother. i googled her one night and saw that she had given birth to a beautiful young lady. and i kind of went back to nine months bef

a central issue is whether steve cohen will be personally charged as part of the ongoing insider trading probe despite assertions he didn't break the law. by may there may be more clarity, partly because there is statute of limitations on cases that run in july. in the meantime, sac will fork over $660 million by march 30 and additional billion by year end. maybe more. on the good side though. great upside last year at sac brought total uam to $15 billion by the beginning of this year and 9 billion of that is steve cohen and colleagues and their personal investments who plan it add more in the near future. >> great story, kate, thanks very much. so who is listening, watching and hacking your smart phone? see how easy it is when we come back. >>> can you imagine how frightening a display and just how powerful space can be? it's been a long time since fire rained down on earth. but it happened early this morning, scare rg thousands, injuring hundreds. an incredible display of nature coming up on "power lunch." s li. but they can also hold you back. unless you ask, what's next?

if you believe that there's evidence that steve cohen actually had the inside information, by the wayone of that is -- >> but it's over that. even so -- >> but then it change the equation as to why were they getting neutral ahead of this thing as opposed to going short. and it changes a little bit of the optics of what's going on. by the way, worth note b, the redemption deadline for sac is in the next couple weeks. so a lot of people are trying to figure out whether steve cohen is going to be indicted or move forward or not. maybe this detail changes some of the dynamic. >> there's inside information on -- >> i'll give you one last side to all of this. this is the completely cynical view. they have these swaps in place. it's much harder to get out of an equities swap than it is to simply dump or sell the shares the way they were doing through other things. when you have an equity swap, you have to call up the counter party of the bank and said i want to get out of this. a lot of people if you have an equity swap find out about it. if you were trying to do this all this under the cove
