  • Why Convertible Arbitrage Is a True Market Neutral Strategy
    WHY CONVERTIBLE ARBITRAGE IS A TRUE MARKET NEUTRAL STRATEGY How does convertible arbitrage perform in different markets? Transcript of a video recorded on November 30, 2017. Eli Pars, Co-CIO, Head of Alternative Strategies and Co-Head of Convertible Strategies, Senior Co-PM, explains that convertible arbitrage has performed well in most equity market environments—and that the strategy has done its best in declining equity markets historically. ELI PARS The nice thing is it tends to perform well in most equity market environments. In a rising market, you benefit from Co-CIO, Head of the net long, the net long embedded in the hedge. So you can make a little bit of money there and you can trade Alternative Strategies and Co-Head of around the volatility. It tends to do a little better in more volatile markets. Convertible Strategies, Senior Co-PM The interesting thing is, historically, it’s often done its best in declining equity markets. Now, sometimes it depends on the nature of the equity market and the nature of the bear market, but if you look back to the early 2000s when the equity market sold off materially, convert arb did really well. Investors made money, made significant money in a lot of cases, when the equity market was down. That wasn’t the case in 2008 when it was more of a financial crisis, but it’s kind of helpful for investors as they look forward and think where the next bear market might be. If to the extent you’re in the camp that you think that ultimately it’ll be an over-valued equity market that corrects similar to what we had in the early 2000s, that could quite possibly be a very nice environment for convert arb.

    Building a Better Equity Market Neutral Strategy Gabriel Feghali, CFA April 2015 Global Stock Selection Equity Market Neutral (EMN) is a well- Dan Villalon, CFA established strategy designed to deliver positive performance without exposing investors to the Portfolio Solutions Group risk of the overall equity market. We believe this strategy, with its long-term institutional track record, can be efficiently managed not only as a limited partnership but also as a registered investment product.

  • Cyclical Dependence and Timing in Market Neutral Hedge Funds∗
    Cyclical dependence and timing in market neutral hedge funds∗ Julio A. Crego Julio Galvez´ Tilburg University CEMFI <[email protected]> <galvez@cemfi.edu.es> May 9, 2018 Abstract We explore a new dimension of dependence of hedge fund returns with the market portfolio by examining linear correlation and tail dependence conditional on the financial cycle. Using a large sample of hedge funds that are considered “market neutral”, we doc- ument that the low correlation of market neutral hedge funds with the market is composed of a negative correlation during bear periods and a positive one during bull periods. In contrast, the remaining styles present a positive correlation throughout the cycle. We also find that while they present tail dependence during bull periods, we cannot reject tail neu- trality in times of financial turmoil. Consistent with these results, we show that market neutral hedge funds present state timing ability that cannot be explained by other forms of timing ability. Using individual hedge fund data, we find that funds that implement share restrictions are more likely to time the state. Keywords: Hedge funds, market neutrality, state timing, tail dependence, risk management. JEL: G11, G23. ∗We would like to thank Dante Amengual, Patrick Gagliardini, Ramiro Losada, Javier Menc´ıa, Andrew Pat- ton, Guillermo Tellechea, Rafael Repullo, Enrique Sentana, Javier Suarez, Andrea Tamoni, and numerous sem- inar and conference audiences for helpful comments.
