Like private equity funds, hedge funds are typically organized as either limited partnerships or limited liability corporations to protect investors from losses exceeding their initial investment and to avoid double taxation of corporate earnings.
Compensation for hedge fund managers typically is based on two components:
The high fees earned by hedge fund managers has been widely criticized, particularly when the returns generated include some exposure to beta. Beta can be obtained very cheaply through passive investments such as index funds. However, to the extent that the hedge fund returns offer diversification the fees may simply represent a sort of insurance premium that investors are willing to pay in exchange for risk reduction.
The investments made by hedge funds are often illiquid, and as such many funds require a lock-up period before investments can be withdrawn. In addition, most funds allow cash inflows and outflows only at specific times (usually quarterly.)

Financial literacy is the ability to understand finance. Raising interest in personal finance is now a focus of state-run programs in countries including Australia, Japan, the United States and the UK.[1]
The Department of the Treasury is an executive department and the treasury of the United States federal government. It was established by an Act of Congress in 1789 to manage government revenue. The Department is administered by the Secretary of the Treasury, who is a member of the Cabinet.
The Department of the Treasury is a leader in promoting financial education. Treasury established the Office of Financial Education in May of 2002. The Office works to promote access to the financial education tools that can help all Americans make wiser choices in all areas of personal financial management, with a special emphasis on saving, credit management, home ownership and retirement planning. The Office also coordinates the efforts of the Financial Literacy and Education Commission, a group chaired by the Secretary of Treasury and composed of representatives from 20 federal departments, agencies and commissions, which works to improve financial literacy and education for people throughout the United States.
MyMoney.gov is the U.S. government’s website dedicated to teaching all Americans the basics about financial education. Whether you are planning to buy a home, balancing your checkbook, or investing in your 401k, the resources on MyMoney.gov can help you do it better. Throughout the site, you will find important information from 20 federal agencies government wide.
The business cycle refers to the swings in gross domestic product from recovery to recession. There are several factors influencing the business cycle.
Consumers tend to be the most important, reflecting 60-70% of GDP in developed countries. Trends in consumer spending can be monitored through retail sales and personal income data.
Business spending on inventories and investment is a smaller but more volatile component of GDP. It can be tracked using surveys such as PMI or ISM.
Monetary policy is used by governments to dampen the overall business cycle. The ability to use monetary policy as a business cycle lever is dampened by inflation, the pace of growth, unemployment levels and capacity utilization.
Inflation has different effects on different types of assets. As a result, it is important both to diversify assets in terms of their response to inflation and to form expectations of inflation in order to overweight the assets that will respond best to future conditions.
Cash – inflation causes rising interest rates, and therefore cash tends to earn a higher return when inflation is higher.
Bonds – inflation erodes the fixed payments and terminal values of bonds. Therefore, bonds perform worse when inflation is higher.
Stocks – inflation can increase asset values but erode real cash flows. Rising interest rates can reduce the present value of future cash flows. Stocks tend to do best when inflation is low and predictable, and to fall in either high inflation or deflation.
Real estate – higher cash flows and asset values tend to result in a positive relationship between real estate and inflation.
The N-firm concentration ratio is an intuitive measure of industry concentration. Industries with high (or low) levels of concentration have few (or many) competitors.
The N-firm concentration ratio is found simply by adding the market shares of the N largest firms in the industry. For example, in an industry with six competitors with respective market shares of 30%, 20%, 20%, 10%, 10% and 10% the three firm concentration ratio would be 30% + 20% + 20% = 70% and the 5-firm concentration ratio would be 90%.
The N-firm concentration ratio is an intuitive measure, but the Herfindahl index provides a greater degree of discrimination. As a result, when the two indicators offer differing signals the Herfindahl index is likely more reliable.
Derivative agreements are contracts between two parties, under which at least one of the parties faces a financial obligation to the other. Each counterparty to a contract can be subjected to credit risk, or the possibility that the other party fails to meet its obigation.
In a forward contract, commitments are made at the contract outset but settlement is due at expiration. Consider an agreement under which party A agrees to buy the S&P 500 index from party B for 1,500 in one year. If the S&P 500 is at 1,400, party A owes party B 100, and party B faces potential credit risk (prior to settlement) and actual credit risk (at the time of settlement.) When the S&P 500 is higher than 1,500 it is party A that is subject to credit risk.
Swap contracts are similar to a series of forward contracts, with interim payments occurring along the way. Each payment exposes one party to credit risk. As each payment is made, the total potential credit risk is reduced.
Option contracts have unilateral credit risk – only the seller is obligated to make a payment, so only the buyer is exposed to credit risk once the initial premium has been paid.
Market risks related to the economy, interest rates, and the state of the market are relatively unimportant when considering investments in distressed securities. There are, however, several types of risks that particularly apply to investments in distressed securities.
Event risk relates to unexpected company-specific or situation-specific events that affect valuation.
Market liquidity risk arises because distressed securities are less liquid, and demand runs in cycles.
J-factor risk relates to the judge presiding over bankruptcy proceedings. The track record in adjudication and restructuring can play a significant role in both the overall outcome and determining the optimum securities in which to invest.
When considering an investment in private equity, investors need to consider a number of factors.
· Can a small investor obtain the diversification needed
· Does the investor have liquidity needs that would prohibit tying up funds for 7-10 years
· Will the investor be able to fund promised commitments to the private equity fund when called for
What mix of sector, stage and geography is required to provide the best diversification In addition, selecting managers requires special due diligence considerations:
1. Can the investor and manager evaluate prospects for market success
o Understanding of the markets, competition and sales prospects
o Experience and capabilities of management team
o Management’s commitment – ownership, compensation structure, etc
o Opinion of customers
o Identity of current investors – do they have particular expertise that lends confidence to outsiders
2. Operational review
o Have experts validated the technology
o Consideration of employment contracts
o What intellectual property rights have been established
3. Financial and legal review
o Potential dilution of interest
o Financial statement (or tax returns, or investor-conducted audit)
The Herfindahl index is a measure of how concentrated an industry is. An industry with few competitors will have a high level of concentration, while many competitors results in low concentration.
The Herfindahl index measures concentration as the sum of the squared market share of each firm in the industry. For example, consider an industry with six competitors, with respective market share of 30%, 20%, 20%, 10%, 10% and 10% the Herfindahl index will be (0.3*0.3) + (0.2*0.2) + (0.2*0.2) + (0.1*0.1) + (0.1*0.1) + (0.1*0.1) = 0.09 + 0.04 + 0.04 + 0.01+0.01 + 0.01 = 0.2.
As a general rule, a Herfindahl index below 0.1 signals low concentration, while a Herfindahl index above 0.18 signals high concentration. Between 0.1 and 0.18 the industry is moderately concentrated.
If all firms in an industry have equal market share, the reciprocal of the Herfindahl index (1/H) will equal the number of firms in the industry. For industry in which firms have unequal share, the reciprocal of the Herfindahl indicates the “equivalent” number of firms. In this example, the six firms in the industry have the same level of concentration as an industry with 1/0.2 = 5 competitors with equal market share.
Compared to the N-firm concentration ratio, the Herfindahl index offers greater discrimination as it includes all firms in the industry and weights the firms according to market share. However, it is not a particularly intuitive measure.
On the income statement, accounting standards encourage separate treatment of operating and non-operating items. Operating items are those relating to the day-to-day management of the enterprise: sales, cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expense, research and development costs, etc. Often the net of these items is presented as a subtotal, operating income.
Non-operating items include investing and financing activities, which are reported separately from operating income (unless pertaining to a financial services firm, for which such items are operational.) Non operating items include the interest, dividends and profits on investments made in the securities of other companies; interest expense; etc.
Some investments in other companies are made for strategic reasons, such as access to raw materials. In these cases, investors and analysts may wish to classify the investments as operating.
While taxes are a normal operating expense, they are also affected by non-operating items. Often, analysts will adjust operating profit by the tax rate to arrive at NOPAT (net operating profit after tax.)
Cash Flow Return on Investment (CFROI) is an internal rate of return (IRR) type metric measuring the return expected to be generated by a firm’s existing assets throughout their useful lives. CFROI can be calculated in five steps:
· compute the average life of assets by dividing gross assets by depreciation expense
· compute gross cash flow by adjusting net income for non-cash charges, financing expenses, operating lease payments and equity reserve accounts
· compute the gross investment as gross plant and equipment adjusted for reserves, capitalized expenses, restructuring charges, amortization and the present value of operating leases
· compute the value of any assets that will not depreciate (which will represent the future value)
· solve for IRR (or CFROI)
When companies using different currencies transact business, at least one of the companies will have to translate a foreign currency into its home currency. For sales made in cash, this can be done at the time of sale.
When the sale is made on credit, the company will have to record an account receivable or account payable until the account is settled. During the interim, the relative values of the currencies could change. The accounting treatment for such changes is governed by International Accounting Standard (IAS) 21 and U.S. Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 52. The treatment is the same under either method.
· At the time of sale, the sale is recorded at the current exchange rate and an equivalent value asset or liability is created.
· If balance sheets are prepared prior to collection, the asset or liability must be restated to the then-current exchange rate value. The change is recognized as an unrealized exchange rate gain/loss on the income statement.
· When the account is collected, the asset or liability is removed and any previously unrecognized gain/loss is recognized on the income statement.
Since the asset and liability are always presented at fair value and changes flow through the income statement, there is seldom need to adjust the financial statements to examine the effect.
Investment analysts can fall into several psychological traps (and should strive to avoid doing so.)
Anchoring refers to giving disproportionate weight to the first information received about a topic.
Status quo bias is the tendency to perpetuate recent observations in forecasts.
Confirming evidence is the tendency to give more weight to information that supports existing or preferred points of view than to information that contradicts the preferred view.
Overconfidence is having too much faith in the accuracy of one’s forecasts.
Recallability is when forecasts are overly influenced by events that left a strong impression on the forecaster’s memory.
Sentiment indicators monitor the activity of market participants such as floor traders, insiders, mutual fund managers, etc. The premise behind such indicators is that certain types of investors will have similar reactions to future market events as they have had to past events. These reactions may prove useful for identifying market turning points.
Insiders and New York Stock Exchange members have historically been “right.” They tend to be net buyers at market tops and net sellers at market bottoms.
Advisory services, on the other hand, tend to buy at the top and sell at the bottom. Tracking the sentiment of newsletter writers, for example, may prove to be a useful contrary indicator.
In behavioral finance, escalation bias causes investors to invest more in money-losing investments for which they feel responsible than they invest in an ongoing successful investment. The popular concept of “averaging down” to reduce the average price paid for the investment may be representative of this bias.
The rational, traditional finance model would expect investors to re-evaluate holdings for potential bad news that they had failed to incorporate into their initial valuation. If the re-evaluation supports the investment, then more could be added. Otherwise, it would be wiser to exit the position and take the loss.
There are three primary types of credit risk:
· Default risk is the chance the issuer will fail to meet its obligations
· Credit spread risk is the chance the spread between the risky bond and risk-free securities will vary after purchase
· Downgrade risk is the chance a rating agency will lower its rating on the issuer
These risks can be hedged using option contracts.
A binary credit option pays off only if a specified negative event occurs. These can be used to hedge default risk or downgrade risk.
Credit spread options pay off based on the spread over a benchmark rate. They can be used to hedge credit spread risk.
Derivative contracts are agreements between two parties to pay a cash flow or series of cash flows based on the value of some underlying instrument. Whenever one of the counterparties is owed a cash flow that party faces credit risk: the chance that the other party will fail to honor its obligation. There are a number of ways firms dealing with a large number of derivative contracts can manage this risk.
Position limits are simply pre-set guidelines on how much exposure can be allocated to a given party. The limits could be in dollar terms, a percentage of the notional value of total contracts, or based on other factors (such as allocating a higher limit to more trusted parties.)
Certain futures contracts are periodically “marked to market,” a process by which the interim differences in value are settled before the contracts expire. The associated mark to market payments are smaller and more frequent, reducing the credit risk compared to a single large payment at the end of the contract. The most one party could lose is the change in value during the time since the last mark to market.
Collateral such as margin are required for many contracts. The margin is a small percentage of the notional value kept in escrow. Usually if the margin falls to a specific percentage of how much is actually owed, either more margin must be put up or the margin is paid out and the contract terminated.
Netting procedures are set up for most contracts so that if both parties owe something only the difference (the net payment) is made by the party owing the larger amount. This reduces the credit risk and causes it to apply only to the party owed the larger amount.
Traditional credit analysis techniques can be used to vet counterparties according to credit standards at the outset of a contract. However, if the contract is long-term in nature the credit quality can change during the contract life.
Finally, there are a number of credit derivatives that can be used to transfer specific aspects of credit risk to other parties willing to accept the risk.
With the growth in the hedge fund industry has come a decline in the value added by hedge fund managers. Given the high fees typically charged by hedge funds, some have questioned whether passive approaches can be constructed that would provide returns similar to those of hedge funds while offering greater transparency and liquidity.
In the Winter 2007 Journal of Wealth Management Harry Kat discusses three general approaches to hedge fund replication:
· Factor Models
· Mechanical Trading Rules
· The author’s FundCreator product
In a factor model, linear regressions determine the market exposures experienced by a hedge fund or hedge fund index. Factors may include stock, bond, commodity and currency returns, or changes in credit spreads and market volatility. These exposures can then be taken via index products or derivative instruments.
In the case of funds that add value by timing short-term changes in market exposure, the investor’s trading behavior can be compared to mechanical trading rules.
The FundCreator product is a risk management tool that allows the investor to target the risk and correlation properties desired in order to maximize diversification potential.
In Technical Analysis Explained, Martin Pring notes that since there are three major financial markets (stocks, bonds and commodities) and each has two turning points in a given cycle, there are six turning points in each cycle. He calls these turning points the six stages and uses them as a reference point for identifying the current phase of the business cycle and by extension the next likely turning point.
Stage 1: Slowing growth rates or early recession. Interest rates start to fall and bonds rally.
Stage 2: Business cycle trough. Stocks begin to rally.
Stage 3: Late recession and early recovery. Commodities begin to rally.
Stage 4: Early recovery. Interest rates trough and bonds peak.
Stage 5: Cycle peak. Stocks peak.
Stage 6: Slowing growth, commodities peak.
As with any asset class, investments in commodities should be compared with an appropriate benchmark for risk and return. A number of commodity indices are in wide use, which all attempt to replicate the returns available to holding long positions in commodities. The indices can vary widely in terms of composition (which commodities are included), weighting scheme, and purpose. It is important to choose an index that matches the investment practices being used.
Since a futures contract is a zero-sum game (every long position is offset by a corresponding short position) it is not possible to market-weight a futures index. Instead, weighting strategies range from judgment-based methods, to equal-weight, to weightings based on world production levels. The benchmarks typically offer representations of both spot return and total return.
Derivative agreements are contracts between two parties, under which at least one of the parties faces a financial obligation to the other. Each counterparty to a contract can be subjected to credit risk, or the possibility that the other party fails to meet its obigation.
In a forward contract, commitments are made at the contract outset but settlement is due at expiration. Consider an agreement under which party A agrees to buy the S&P 500 index from party B for 1,500 in one year. If the S&P 500 is at 1,400, party A owes party B 100, and party B faces potential credit risk (prior to settlement) and actual credit risk (at the time of settlement.) When the S&P 500 is higher than 1,500 it is party A that is subject to credit risk.
Swap contracts are similar to a series of forward contracts, with interim payments occurring along the way. Each payment exposes one party to credit risk. As each payment is made, the total potential credit risk is reduced.
Option contracts have unilateral credit risk – only the seller is obligated to make a payment, so only the buyer is exposed to credit risk once the initial premium has been paid.
Market structure indicators are the primary tool of technical analysis. They monitor the trends of various price indexes, market breadth, volume, etc. Technical analysts use them to monitor the health of the prevailing trend.
Market structure indicators include moving averages, patterns, trendlines and peak/trough analysis. Most of the time, the trends for various indicators move together. When the different indicators diverge, or offer different signals, it is often a sign that a trend reversal will take place.
Flow of funds measures analyze the financial positions of various types of investors to determine their potential capacity to buy or sell stocks. Since every buy order must be matched with a sell order of equal magnitude, flow of funds indicators are not interested so much in the ex-post balance between supply and demand, but with the implications of ex-ante supply and demand imbalances on price.
Although flow of funds measures can indicate an ability to buy or sell, they do not give any sign of the willingness to do so. Furthermore, some of the data is reported with a lag and may no longer be relevant by the time it is available.
Sentiment indicators monitor the activity of market participants such as floor traders, insiders, mutual fund managers, etc. The premise behind such indicators is that certain types of investors will have similar reactions to future market events as they have had to past events. These reactions may prove useful for identifying market turning points.
Insiders and New York Stock Exchange members have historically been “right.” They tend to be net buyers at market tops and net sellers at market bottoms.
Advisory services, on the other hand, tend to buy at the top and sell at the bottom. Tracking the sentiment of newsletter writers, for example, may prove to be a useful contrary indicator.
Peak and trough progressions are a simple tool used in technical analysis to determine the primary trend and identify reversals in the trend. It is based on the theory that markets progress in waves.
In an uptrend, each successive peak and trough will be at a higher point than the preceding one (higher highs and higher lows). In a downtrend, each peak and trough will be lower (lower highs and lower lows) than the preceding.
When a series of rising or falling peaks and troughs is interrupted, it is a signal that a trend reversal may be taking place. For a true reversal signal in a bull market, both a lower trough and a subsequent lower peak must be identified.
Further, the length of time between peaks and troughs can signal whether a trend is a primary, intermediate, or short-term trend.
The strong-form efficient market hypothesis assumes that stock prices reflect all information, whether public or private. As such, it encompasses both the weak-form EMH and the semistrong-form EMH. If a market is strong form efficient, it is also weak- and semistrong-form efficient.
In a strong-form efficient market no group of investors should be able to generate excess risk-adjusted returns. Technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and even inside information will provide little value once the information is known.
In essence, the strong form efficient market assumes a perfect market in which all information is cost-free and universally available to all market participants simultaneously.
The semistrong form of the efficient market hypothesis assumes that security prices adjust rapidly to all publicly available information. Such information includes market based information and thus the semistrong EMH encompasses the weak form EMH (if markets are semistrong efficient, they are also weak form efficient.)
In addition to market information, other public information includes earnings and dividend announcements, financial ratios, accounting practices, stock splits, and economic and political news. If markets are semistrong efficient, investors should not be able to earn excess risk-adjusted returns if their decisions are based on information that has already been made public. Neither technical analysis nor fundamental analysis would provide a predictable edge.
Standardized unexpected earnings is a means of comparing earnings surprise to the company’s track record of earnings surprise. For example, Cisco was once said to consistently beat earnings estimates by a penny. Thus, if the company did beat by a penny it was hardly unexpected. A method frequently used in academic research to adjust for this factor is the standardized unexpected earnings, or SUE.
SUE = the earnings surprise at a given time divided by the standard deviation of earnings surprises measured over some historic period such as the previous 20 quarters.
Consider a stock that had a $0.03 earnings surprise, and that the standard deviation of past earnings surprises is $0.05. The surprise is smaller than normal, and the standardized earnings surprise would be $0.03/$0.05 = 0.6.
