  • Confidential Recommendation on Phase II of Hedge Fund Implementation Plan
    Confidential Recommendation on Phase II of Hedge Fund Implementation Plan To: RISIC Prepared: October 17, 2011 From: Thomas Lynch, CFA, Managing Director The purpose of this memo is to provide RISIC with a summary of Cliffwater’s recommendation for Phase II of the Hedge Fund Implementation Plan. Cliffwater has presented to the RISIC an investment plan for hedge funds. The goal of the plan is to reduce volatility in the ERSRI portfolio (or the “Fund”) as well as individual long-only asset classes and to improve the Sharpe Ratio of the Fund. The overall investment plan calls for an allocation of 15% of the Fund to hedge funds. The hedge fund allocation will consist of three components, grouping hedge funds strategies by associated market beta. As shown in Table 1 below, 8% of the 15% hedge fund allocation will be made to equity related strategies (i.e. equity long/short and event driven strategies) and they will be allocated to the Fund’s global equity allocation. Similarly, 5% of the 15% hedge fund allocation will be made to absolute return strategies (i.e. global macro and multi-strategy) and they will be allocated to the Fund’s real return allocation; 2% of the 15% hedge fund allocation will be made to fixed income strategies (i.e. credit and relative value strategies) and they will be allocated to the Fund’s fixed income allocation. Table 1.
