Lockdown savings? Put them in an Isa while you can

by

The Covid pandemic has bolstered many people’s balances – here are some tax-efficient places to put your cashIsas have fallen out of favour with some consumers but with tax increases potentially on the way to cover the bill for the coronavirus pandemic, experts are urging those with money to save or invest to take advantage of the allowances available to them.Many Britons have seen their incomes remain much the same but their spending plummet as a result of being stuck at home, and huge sums of cash have built up in bank and building society accounts. Figures from the Bank of England show that households had accumulated £125bn in excess savings by November 2020. And this week the Bank’s policymaker Gertjan Vlieghe said: “Significant further … [Read More...]

Hedge fund joke

by

Index fund genius, a long only guru and a data scientist are flying in to deliver investment presentations to an institutional client in New Zealand. As the plane comes in to land they see one purple sheep alone in a field.Professor Passive says “Every kiwi sheep is purple! I must buy them ALL, now. At ANY price owners ask, no matter how high or overvalued. It’s not my money. No need to know ovine business or earnings. Forget about analysis or due diligence. Ignore risk! Prices are always correct as markets are efficient. I have academic tenure and Swedish taxpayers awarded me a fake ‘Nobel’ in economic ‘sciences’ which I’ve been using for asset gathering marketing ever since. Risk free…for me.”Beta Bandit says “Some … [Read More...]

Buffett’s Alpha?

by

Warren Buffett prudently invests 99% of his wealth in absolute return strategies, like most risk averse savers. Leverage, arbitrage, derivatives, event-driven, opportunistic, special situations and macro strategies have driven his returns since inception in 1954. Short selling cocoa futures was Warren’s first major arbitrage. Despite FACTS, some insult Warren by claiming he isn’t even a hedge fund manager! If Berkshire Hathaway isn’t the archetypal hedge fund, there are no hedge funds. BRKA manages $500 billion, AUM grown from capital appreciation not from wining and dining pension “consultants”.One counterexample, ONE, is sufficient to destroy the dangerous passive fad and ridicule index fund “Nobel” laureates. Don’t trust naive lists of unanalyzed stocks sold as “low fee” but high cost, no skill, zero work, volatile index funds. Past returns … [Read More...]

Reasons to Oppose the SEC’s New 13F Proposal

by

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed amendments to 13F filings. Currently, investment managers with holdings of US securities totaling $100 million or more are required to file a 13F each quarter. The proposal seeks to increase that level 35x to managers holding $3.5 billion or more. The result? A 90% reduction in the number of 13Fs filed. This would reduce the number of hedge funds that file from 800 down to less than 100. It would decrease total filers from around 5,283 to a mere 549. $2.3 trillion in investment holdings would no longer be disclosed.The proposal lays out the pros of making this change, so herein we’ll examine the counterpoints to their arguments and the cons of making such a drastic change. There’s also information … [Read More...]

Asset allocation?

by

Asset allocation doesn’t work. It does not drive portfolio returns. Whether mathematically or empirically, it is easy to show for all forward-looking goals, market scenarios and risk tolerances, investors big and small should NEVER asset allocate. Experts were wrong: take a look at the disastrous state of pensions and retirement savings. They are in that situation due to asset allocation. Let’s destroy asset allocation with a simple proof. If investors were required to put their entire portfolio in one stock of their choice, “experts” would conclude ONLY stock picking drives returns. Or if you flip a coin each month to be “100% stocks” or “100% cash” then market timing becomes the SOLE determining factor. Asset allocation is based on bad science. If you are … [Read More...]
