Arbitrage hedge fund

by

More dumb money is invested in the markets than ever before. So there are MORE opportunities for hard working, smart people to capture alpha from all that dumb money. Experts claim there is no such thing as arbitrage as it supposedly would be copied and eliminated! They are so wrong. If you have the expertise and resources there are many profitable arbitrages on Wall Street. Markets are becoming even LESS efficient.A common metaphor is that if a $100 bill is dropped in the street it would immediately be picked up therefore no arbitrage can persist. But what if YOU are the person that finds it? Someone will. What if you specialize in walking the streets 24/7/365 looking for drops? What if you spent some of your “high” … [Read More...]

The result? The dartboard beat the professionals by 27 percentage points.The investment world is no place for geniuses; anyone who claims otherwise is a fool or a charlatan. Yet this does not stop money managers touting themselves as … [Read More...]

Hedge fund crisis

by

Hope for the best but hedge for the worst. First rule of risk management – if it can happen, it will happen. Market crashes are no problem for investors that diversify PROPERLY. I’ve been saying, writing and doing for so many years now but to repeat: only invest in alpha and hedge beta factor sensitivities away. NO ASSET ALLOCATION. Zero naive equity or credit exposure. Only short/long SKILL. Skill strategies are the ONLY suitable, prudent investment.We have seen excellent returns from great hedge funds, hard times for lower quality managers but much worse from “cheap” risk craving index funds. Skilled investors don’t always make money but they do have fewer, milder and shorter drawdowns than passive funds that don’t try to manage risk, reduce exposures or … [Read More...]

We also require their great-aunt’s, next door neighbor’s second-cousin’s original birth certificate.The required 1,000 question RFP questionnaire sorts the wheat from chaff in the swashbuckling cowboy world, that media thinks exists in hedge fund land. All trades by F3, F2 and F1 managers must be pre-authorized by our byzantine bureaucracy with approval forms to be submitted in original notarized triplicate to the … [Read More...]
