Hedge Funds Vs Traditional Assets University of Nottingham Hedge Funds & The Alpha Paradigm Ioannis Logothetis Master of Science in Finance & Investment Hedge Funds & The Alpha Paradigm by Ioannis Logothetis September 2012 A Dissertation presented in part consideration for the degree: ‘Master of Science in Finance and Investment’ 1 Abstract Numerous heavily quantitative strategies, macroeconomic and esoteric investment techniques involving currencies, fixed income products, commodities and equities have proven to be very profitable over the last two decades as math whizzes of Wall Street implemented mathematical and quantum physics models to outperform financial markets in search of Alpha. The development of mathematical algorithms, exotic trading techniques, lightening fast computerized machines and platforms and the effective in-depth skilful macroeconomic analysis from numerous hedge fund managers have resulted in trillions of profits or even losses which have in turn affected the global financial system significantly. This thesis will examine the features of the hedge fund industry focusing on the analysis and the background of the ‘Alpha’ paradigm, the various profitable strategies on record, their performance over the years, the recent developments in the field, their influence and their effects on the global economy and the financial system with the infamous events of 2007- 2008 serving as a backdrop. By assessing historically the hedge fund performance it could be demonstrated that hedge funds produce superior risk-adjusted returns over time comparing with traditional assets, and they carried fewer risks when the volatilities are compared. Our findings also support that hedge funds possess the ability create alpha consistently and systematically with limited volatility and by outperforming traditional asset classes, while there is a limited interaction between hedge fund returns and systematic market factors. 2 Contents List of Figures ..................................................................................................................... 5 List of Tables ....................................................................................................................... 6 Acknowledgements ............................................................................................................. 7 1 Prelude ............................................................................................................................ 8 1.1 Background and Context ............................................................................................. 9 1.2 Scope and Objectives ................................................................................................. 10 1.3 Overview of Dissertation ............................................................................................11 2 State-of-The-Art .......................................................................................................... 12 2.1 History & Characteristics .......................................................................................... 12 2.2 Generating and Chasing Alpha ................................................................................. 14 2.2.1 What is Alpha and Beta?

That's an illusion and a dangerous one (Barton Biggs, 2006). A layman walking on the streets might not know exactly what a hedge fund is but may be aware of the recent furore surrounding these alternative investment vehicles – especially after the headlines generated by the Bernard L Madoff $50billion Ponzi scheme. An article in Bloomberg Markets Magazine in 2011 notes that: ‘Brownstein’s Mortgage Metaphysics

  • 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.

He was presented with the honor at the IAQF/Northfield Award Gala Dinner on February 27 by Martin Leibowitz, Managing Director and Vice Chairman of Research at Morgan Stanley. Upon his acceptance of the award, Cliff Asness remarked, “It is a great honor, and quite humbling, to receive this award especially in light of the amazing prior recipients. Thank you to the IAQF for this recognition and for all their work in advancing the field of quantitative finance.” Northfield President Dan diBartolomeo commented, “We are elated to see that a very deserving practitioner has received this year’s award. Cliff Asness has contributed very materially to the asset management industry in terms of the literature, but even more so by the many innovative investment techniques introduced through his firm AQR. His dedication to rigorous thought in many aspects of the investment process is now being appropriately recognized.” The annual IAQF/Northfield FEOY Award, established in 1993, recognizes individual contributions to the advancement of quantitative finance. A nominating committee of approximately 100 people, consisting of all the IAQF governing boards, submits nominations, which are reviewed in a two-step process by a selection committee of 25 members.

    Low-Risk Investing Without Industry Bets Cliff Asness, Andrea Frazzini, and Lasse H. Pedersen * First Draft: June 6, 2012 This draft: May 10, 2013 Abstract The strategy of buying safe low-beta stocks while shorting (or underweighting) riskier high-beta stocks has been shown to deliver significant risk-adjusted returns. However, it has been suggested that such “low-risk investing” delivers high returns primarily due to its industry bet, favoring a slowly changing set of stodgy, stable industries and disliking their opposites. We refute this. We show that a betting against beta (BAB) strategy has delivered positive returns both as an industry-neutral bet within each industry and as a pure bet across industries. In fact, the industry-neutral BAB strategy has performed stronger than the BAB strategy that only bets across industries and it has delivered positive returns in each of 49 U.S. industries and in 61 of 70 global industries. Our findings are consistent with the leverage aversion theory for why low beta investing is effective. * Cliff Asness and Andrea Frazzini are at AQR Capital Management, Two Greenwich Plaza, Greenwich, CT 06830, e-mail: [email protected]; web: http://www.econ.yale.edu/~af227/ .

  • Inside a Moneymaking Machine Like No Other
    Inside a Moneymaking Machine Like No Other The Medallion Fund, an employees-only offering for the quants at Renaissance ​ ​ ​ Technologies, is the blackest box in all of finance. ​ Katherine Burton November 21, 2016 Sixty miles east of Wall Street, a spit of land shaped like a whale’s tail separates Long Island ​ Sound and Conscience Bay. The mansions here, with their long, gated driveways and million-dollar views, are part of a hamlet called Old Field. Locals have another name for these moneyed lanes: the Renaissance Riviera. That’s because the area’s wealthiest residents, scientists all, work for the quantitative hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, based in nearby East Setauket. They are the creators and overseers of the Medallion Fund—perhaps the world’s greatest moneymaking machine. Medallion is open only to Renaissance’s roughly 300 employees, about 90 of whom are Ph.D.s, as well as a select few individuals with deep-rooted connections to the firm. The fabled fund, known for its intense secrecy, has produced about $55 billion in profit over the last 28 years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, making it about $10 billion more ​ ​ profitable than funds run by billionaires Ray Dalio and George Soros. What’s more, it did so in a ​ shorter time and with fewer assets under management. The fund almost never loses money. Its biggest drawdown in one five-year period was half a percent. “Renaissance is the commercial version of the Manhattan Project,” says Andrew Lo, a finance professor at MIT’s Sloan School of Management and chairman of AlphaSimplex, a quant research firm.

  • The Other Side of Wall Street
    Praise for The Other Side of Wall Street “Todd blows up the typical Wall Street stereotype and proves without a shadow of a doubt that nice guys can finish first. This book captures the essence of what it means to not only be a good trader, but to be a better person. If you read one book about Wall Street this year, this should be it.” —Guy Adami, CNBC’s Fast Money “Todd courageously reminds us that success in life isn’t about what happened yesterday, or what may have occurred today—both good and bad—but what we are doing to make tomorrow better, despite it all. His journey is humbling and inspirational.” —Peter Atwater, President, Financial Insyghts LLC and former Treasurer, Bank ONE “Todd’s unique combination of trader bravado and reflective sentimentality makes The Other Side of Wall Street a must-read for anybody who wants to go beyond the headlines to see how the financial world really works.” —David Callaway, Editor-in-Chief, MarketWatch “Todd Harrison takes you on a high-speed train ride across a landscape inhabited by the financial wizards of our time. And he does it with his eyes wide open to the excesses and utility from an insider’s point of view. This is real life played out to the hilt! Enjoy the ride....” —Bill Cella, former CEO, Magna Global “Fasten your seat belt as Todd Harrison takes you on a fast-paced and wild ride through the vicissitudes of his dramatic life. Harrison’s gift for storytelling is on every page, and in the end, will bring a smile to your face.” —William Cohan, author of Money and Power “Todd Harrison puts readers in the front row for a very personal story about his search for the true meaning of wealth.
