• The Lie That Will Kill Hedge Funds

  2007-08-11 05:17:00

  By Jim CramerRealMoney.com Columnist It's all in the marks.Unless you have run a hedge fund, you have no idea what that means. So I will explain it to the uninitiated. When you run a hedge fund, you are always seeking capital. You can seek money directly from institutions or individuals, or you can do the easiest thing and seek money from those who are offering it: "fund of funds" managers who, specifically, look for managers to place other people's monies. This cohort of investors had just gotten started in about my seventh year as a hedge fund manager, and they were always plying me with capital. I tried it for a while, but the ones I had, and they were substantial, demanded too much of my time and, I thought, forced me to make shorter-term decisions than I liked. I valued my independence too much.So I sent their money back. Lots of people thought that was foolish. Lots wanted to grow their funds gigantically because they figured that was the way to get rich, quick. I was an i
• The Big Lie About Hedge Funds

  2007-07-04 17:59:00

  By Brad KemperHedge funds are really making the news. About half the news is bad, blaming hedge funds for everything from market sell-offs to global warming. The rest of the time the news is gushing about the fabulous returns that hedge fund investors are banking every month.So whom should we believe? Well, I am pretty sure that hedge funds are not responsible for global warming but the surprising truth is that most investors are not doing any better investing in hedge funds than they would investing in the stock market. And probably a lot worse.Hedge funds differ from mutual funds in that they restrict the type and number of investors that may participate. Approved investors must own at least $1 million in assets and have an income of at least $250,000 a year. Apparently the regulators believe that people who fall into this category are better educated and sophisticated enough to understand the risks they are taking. (Be glad you do not fall into this category)By doing this, hedge fun
• Utilizing “Hedge Fund” Mutual Funds to Generate Consistent Returns

  2007-05-30 20:45:40

  The rules regarding hedge fund investing are very strict and they restrict investors with a small asset base from participating in the lucrative returns that come with the asset class. However, there are mutual funds currently employing strategies typically seen in hedge funds. The construction of this portfolio strategy is similar to that of a “fund of funds” hedge fund approach, which invests in different hedge funds that use various investment strategies. The approach of purchasing many “hedge-fund” mutual funds, gives the investor diversity which combats the potential risks that come with investing in individual management firms and potential fund-related risks. The back-test of an approach utilizing the “hedge fund” mutual funds shows comparable returns to that of overall equity markets—with much less volatility. The portfolio appears to be a great hedge against market downturns because the strategies used in the majority of the funds are long-short, which involves g
