Download the data pack: Preqin Special Report: Asia-Pacific Hedge Funds www.preqin.com/HFAsia15 The Asia-Pacific Opportunity Asia-Pacifi c as a destination for hedge fund management has been expanding rapidly over the past few years; over 2014 alone industry assets in the region grew by almost 30%. Much of this growth has been driven by the growing base of institutional investors in the region, from large sovereign wealth funds through to small local pension schemes, that have increasingly begun to turn to hedge funds to help meet portfolio liabilities and long-term investment objectives. Recent regulatory reforms that have swept across the region have enabled both fund managers and investors alike to ramp up their activity in the hedge fund space, and this rapid growth is expected to continue over the next few years as more regions for hedge fund activity emerge within Asia-Pacifi c. In this report we look at the state of the hedge fund industry in Asia-Pacifi c by examining both local funds and those from beyond its shores investing in the region. -
Hedge Fund Billionaires Attack the Hudson Valley Wall Street Goes All in to Save Tax Breaks for the Wealthy
HEDGE PAPERS No.39 HEDGE FUND BILLIONAIRES ATTACK THE HUDSON VALLEY WALL STREET GOES ALL IN TO SAVE TAX BREAKS FOR THE WEALTHY Hedge funds and billionaire hedge fund managers are destroying our economy, corrupting our government, hurting families and communities and exploding inequality. It’s happening all over America, and increasingly all over the world. And now it’s happening in the Hudson Valley. A tiny group of hedge fund billionaires have targeted the congressional campaign in the 19th House District of New York, spending millions of dollars to support GOP candidate John Faso and attack Democratic candidate Zephyr Teachout. SIX HEDGE FUND BILLIONAIRES HIT THE HUDSON VALLEY WITH $5.5 MILLION IN CAMPAIGN CASH The amount of campaign cash is amazing: we’ve found that six billionaire hedge fund managers from New York City, Connecticut and Long Island have given $5,517,600 to PACs and Super PACs active in the Teachout-Faso campaign in this electoral cycle. These same six men have given $102,768,940 in federal and New York state campaign contributions in the past two decades. They’re not doing it for nothing -- they want something in return. These hedge fund billionaires and their colleagues at hedge funds and private equity firms get billions of dollars in special tax breaks under the “carried interest loophole” – and they want to keep the loophole wide open. Closing the loophole would save the federal government an estimated $18 billion per year, according to an analysis by law professor Victor Fleischer.[1] But huge sums of lobbying and campaign cash directed at Congress – and Congressional candidates – by hedge funds and private equity firms have stymied reform in Washington and fueled continued obstructionism. -

PRESS RELEASES 38 4 THE RIKSBANK’S MEASURES DURING THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS 2007-2010 Foreword This Riksbank Study describes the measures taken during the global financial crisis 2007- 2010, when the Riksbank provided the Swedish banking system with extraordinary loans, provided emergency liquidity assistance to specific institutions, and limited crisis contagion through swap lines to neighbouring countries. The study complements previously published work on how the Riksbank handled the crisis, by providing a chronological account of the series of events that unfolded in 2007- 2010 and the corresponding Riksbank action. The study also outlines the lessons that the Riksbank learned from the crisis, and how these have served to strengthen our crisis preparedness. The purpose of the study is to contribute to ongoing international initiatives to document case studies from actual financial crises. -
With Whalewisdom You Can Invest Like Your Research Budget Is $70 Million. Hedge Funds Are Very Secretive. That's Why It Was Su
With WhaleWisdom you can invest like your research budget is $70 million. Hedge funds are very secretive. That’s why it was surprising that in a 2015 letter to shareholders, a $10 billion hedge fund revealed its investment research budget for the year. The amount? $70 million. That’s right, the fund spent $70 million that year finding the best investment ideas in the word. How much did you spend in 2015 researching investments? Did the firm pay 70 world-class analysts $1 million apiece to scour the globe for ideas? Did it spend millions crunching “Big Data”? Did the manager send the brightest minds money can buy to meet face-to-face with cutting-edge companies? However it spent its research millions, it appears to have paid off. The firm -- Coatue Management, led by “Tiger Cub” Philippe Laffont -- has had stellar performance. The fund returned 30.32% in 2016, and has had an annualized return over the last three years of 18.48%. And that’s after 2% management and 20% performance fees. Want to place some money with Coatue management? Got 10 million bucks to invest? That might be enough to get you in the door. But don’t count on it -- most of the top performing hedge funds have been closed to new investors for years. So you’re probably out of luck. But maybe not. What if I told you there is a “back-door” way to replicate Coatue performance without placing money with the hedge fund? What if you could see the stocks Coatue was buying and selling and replicate the firm’s investment process? What if there is a way to benefit from the tens of millions worth of research carried out by hedge funds like Coatue? With WhaleWisdom, an investor can replicate the portfolios of the most profitable “Whales” -- huge investors with stellar track records. -
Assets Under Management and Administration
amounts. Amounts are net of benefit payments recovered or expected to be recovered under reinsurance contracts. Benefits under variable annuity guarantees include the changes in fair value of GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives and the derivatives hedging these benefits, as well as the changes in fair value of derivatives hedging GMDB provisions.

For annuity and UL contracts, DAC are amortized based on projections of estimated gross profits over amortization periods equal to the approximate life of the business. For other insurance products, DAC are generally amortized as a percentage of premiums over amortization periods equal to the premium-paying period. For certain mutual fund products, DAC are generally amortized over fixed periods on a straight-line basis adjusted for redemptions. See ‘‘Deferred Acquisition Costs and Deferred Sales Inducement Costs’’ under ‘‘Critical Accounting Policies’’ for further information on DAC. Interest and Debt Expense Interest and debt expense primarily includes interest on corporate debt and debt of consolidated investment entities, the impact of interest rate hedging activities and amortization of debt issuance costs.
