Hedge Funds Back The Wrong Bull

<p>It’s been a long, long time since hedge funds outpaced the market. The HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index lost to the S&P 500 for eight consecutive years from 2009 to 2016, and it’s on track to lose again this year. The HFRI Index is up 3.5 percent through May, while the S&P 500 is up 8.7 percent, including dividends.</p>
<p>It’s not just the S&P 500 that’s beating hedge funds. Astonishingly, hedge funds have trailed stocks everywhere since global markets recovered from the 2008 financial crisis. From March 2009 through May, the HFRI Index lost to the Russell 2000 Index by 11.9 percentage points annually, the MSCI EAFE Index -- a collection of companies in developed markets outside the U.S. -- by 5.6 percentage points, the MSCI EAFE small Cap Index by 10.3 percentage points, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by 5.7 percentage points, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index by 8.4 percentage points.</p>

Balter Converts Pair Of Hedge Funds To Alternative Mutual Funds
2016-01-12T09:30:19.271358-05:00https://www.thetrustedinsight.com/investment-news/balter-converts-pair-of-hedge-funds-to-alternative-mutual-funds-20160112400/
While new leverage rules proposed by the SEC may force some liquid alternatives to retool their investment approach or convert to private funds, there remains a steady flow of voluntary conversions in the opposite direction. Long/short equity is the original “hedged fund” strategy, as pioneered by Alfred W. Jones in the late 1940s, and it’s a strategy that’s well-suited to the modern regulatory environment of ’40 Act mutual funds. Thus, with mainstream investors increasingly looking to diversify their exposures through alternatives, and alternative asset managers continually looking to diversify their client base by expanding into the retail market, it’s no...

Because of Carl Icahn and other elite funds’ exemplary historical records, we pay attention to their small-cap picks. In this article, we...

Are Small Cap Stocks a Separate Asset Class?

f small cap stocks were just a more volatile extension of the market, we’d expect to see them generally move in lockstep with a large cap index like the S&P 500, increasing more during bull markets, declining more during bear markets, and languishing sympathetically during sideways markets. But small cap stock returns don’t fit this pattern at all. - See more at: http://servowealth.com/resources/articles/are-small-cap-stocks-separate-asset-class#sthash.SLbjLVJi.zXkEZwqw.dpuf
