No one goes into this business to breakeven.
I'm very doubtful that a majority of these smaller funds survive very long but really no great way of knowing. Macro funds until this year have just been sucking. Let's say you're getting 1/15 on 132mm and returned 10% (10 is generous given how a lot of these funds have performed) for the year. That's 1.32mm management fee and 1.98mm in incentive for 3.3mm total. That's really not a lot of money to go around to get startup hedge fund talent.
