The Impact of Portfolio Financing on Alpha Generation by H…
The Impact of Portfolio Financing on Alpha Generation by Hedge Funds An S3 Asset Management Commentary by Robert Sloan, Managing Partner and Krishna Prasad, Partner S3 Asset Management 590 Madison Avenue, 32nd Floor New York, NY 10022 Telephone: 212-759-5222 www.S3asset.com September 2004 Building a successful hedge fund requires more than just the traditional three Ps of Pedigree, Performance and Philosophy. As hedge funds’ popularity increases, it is increasingly clear that Process needs to be considered the 4th P in alpha generation. Clearly, balance sheet management, also known as securities or portfolio financing, is a key element of “process” as it adds to alpha (the hedge fund manager’s excess rate of return as compared to a benchmark). Typically, hedge funds surrender their balance sheet to their prime broker and do not fully understand the financing alpha that they often leave on the table. The prime brokerage business is an oligopoly and the top three providers virtually control the pricing of securities financing. Hedge funds and their investors therefore need to pay close heed to the value provided by their prime broker as it has a direct impact on alpha and the on-going health of a fund. Abstract As investors seek absolute returns, hedge funds have grown exponentially over the past decade. In the quest for better performance, substantial premium is being placed on alpha generation skills. Now, more than ever before, there is a great degree of interest in deconstructing and better understanding the drivers of hedge fund alpha. Investors and hedge fund managers have focused on the relevance of asset allocation, stock selection, portfolio construction and trading costs on alpha.

KATHERINE POLK FAILLA, District Judge: In a 398-paragraph complaint, Plaintiffs detail a wide-ranging conspiracy to prevent the antiquated stock loan market from evolving into a transparent, direct, all-to-all electronic exchange. This market is critical to the short selling of stocks, a not-uncommon investment tool. The thrust of Plaintiffs’ allegations is that Defendants conspired to boycott new market entrants — specifically, AQS, SL-x, and Data Explorers — in order to maintain their monopoly grip as prime broker intermediaries, and, by extension, to charge excessive fees under the cover of price opacity.
