Nelson Peltz's Trian Partners Ltd. hedge fund is down nearly 10% in the first two weeks of the year, according to an investor update reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Trian manages about $11 billion firmwide, making it one of the largest activist hedge-fund firms in the world. Last year, its Trian Partners fund gained more than 4%, according to a separate investor document.

Trian is among many stock-focused hedge funds feeling pain in a historically poor start for equity markets this year. Its largest positions include the conglomerate General Electric Co., down more than 8% this year, and c hemical giant DuPont Co., down 20%.

A Trian representative didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
