  • Creating 13F-Based Strategies with Whalewisdom's Backtester
    Creating 13F-based strategies with WhaleWisdom’s Backtester David Tepper may be THE best performing hedge fund manager ever. According to Forbes, over the last 23 years Tepper’s hedge fund Appaloosa Management has averaged 30% annualized net returns. Assuming the fund has charged 2% management and 20% performance fees, Tepper’s annualized returns before fees could be in the neighborhood of 40%. Tepper’s Appaloosa Management would therefore seem like a great fund to replicate using 13F filings -- SEC mandated quarterly disclosures of large funds’ positions. Tepper has demonstrated masterful stock-picking skills for many years, so it's reasonable to assume he’ll continue to build wealth for his investors going forward. If one can clone the Appaloosa’s fund using 13Fs, then an investor can piggyback on Tepper’s ideas without paying the 2 and 20 fees direct investors in his fund are subjected to. Replicating Tepper’s positions seems straightforward enough: When Appaloosa updates its holdings via 13Fs -- 45 days after the close of every quarter -- one uses WhaleWisdom to view the changes and rebalance the clone portfolio accordingly. Sounds great, let's fund an account and begin replicating Appaloosa's positions. Hold on though. A reasonable question to ask is: Would cloning Tepper’s trades using 13F holdings actually be a profitable strategy? Sure, Tepper is an investing legend with an amazing two-decade track record, but does mimicking Appaloosa’s 13Fs accurately capture the performance of his fund? One problem might be the lag of 13F filings. 13Fs are required to be disclosed 45 days after a quarter’s end.

  • How Miami Is Becoming a Haven for Rich Investors
    December 11, 2017 UMV: 76,182 As thousands of visitors flocked to Miami to look at priceless works of art last week, the Miami Downtown Development Authority pitched hedge funds managers and investors to move to South Florida’s financial center. Since 2013, the DDA has been courting hedge fund managers and big time investors living in New York and Connecticut to move down to Miami’s burgeoning investment hub. Since then, the DDA has helped recruit 50 money managers and service providers to move to South Florida, according to the agency. And next year, the pitch could get much easier, according to some experts. Provisions in the tax bills passed by both the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate proposed federal deductions for state and local taxes (SALT). While Congress is working to pass the final bill, removing these deductions would mean that states with high state incomes taxes such as New York and New Jersey might not be able to qualify for these tax write-offs. Page 2 Alan Lips, a CPA and partner at the Miami-based accounting firm Gerson Preston, said that by removing these federal deductions, he expects more high-net worth investment managers will move to South Florida, where there is no state income tax. “This absolutely helps,” Lips said. “The proposed state income tax deductions make South Florida that much more attractive to Northeast and foreign investors.” With these investors potentially comes more high-skilled jobs and more money flowing into South Florida’s local economy. In addition, some observers say there could be a ripple effect, where these investments spawn a growth in financial services in South Florida.

Curtis A Thesis in the Field of Sustainability and Environmental Management for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University April 2019 1 Copyright 2019 Daryl D. Curtis 2 Abstract This research explored to what extent sustainability-related indices are attuned to millennial investor’s interests. Current and projected growth in millennials’ wealth, increases in sustainably-invested assets, millennials’ interests in sustainable investing, ESG integration in the investment profession, and the United Nations’ implementation of sustainability initiatives are amongst several factors which indicate there’s a demand for sustainability-related indexed products for retail and institutional millennial investors. The basis for this research is product issuers can only develop and bring to market sustainability-related index-based products (e.g., Exchanged Traded Funds (ETFs), mutual funds, tracker funds, and derivatives) for the millennial cohort if index providers construct indices based on millennial investors’ interests.
