Hedge Fund Secondary Market Low

Hedge Fund Secondary Market Low

Hedge Fund Secondary Market Hits New Low

The hedge fund secondary market hit an all-time low in the end of 2009 in terms of prices offered for hedge funds.  The largest secondary hedge fund market provider reports that last month sellers received less than 80 cents on the dollar.  See this page for an explanation of the Secondary Market.
“The choice that investors face when they find themselves with unwanted illiquid assets is slow bleed vs cut your losses and move on,” Hedgebay co-founder Elias Tueta said. “The kinds of illiquid assets that most hedge fund investors find themselves holding today are very long term in nature.  Last year's credit and equity market rallies allowed hedge fund managers to sell a fair amount of assets and return capital.  What wasn't sold last year could be with us for quite some time. Since these assets are illiquid, managers do not frequently change their pricing and as a result they are ‘non-performing’ in an investor's portfolio.  This dead weight makes achieving performance targets very difficult."
Prices on the Hedgebay Global Hedge Fund Secondary Market Index—which had remained near or above NAV since its inception in 1999—plummeted in the summer of 2008. After a brief recovery in mid-2009, when prices topped 90% of NAV, the index again tumbled, sinking below 80% for the first time. In December, not a single trade was completed at or above NAV; the closest was 97%. The lowest trade went for just 56% of NAV.  Source

Three Political Candidates in NY with Hedge Fund Ties

Many financial professionals have transitioned from finance to politics and this is very evident in New York, where three first-time candidates have ties to hedge funds.  One candidate for a congressional seat is a lawyer who works for Fortress Investment Group.  Another candidate in New York running for state comptroller, Harry Wilson, is a former hedge fund manager who worked for Silver Point Capital and private equity firms Clayton Dubilier & Rice and the Blackstone Group.  Finally, the last candidate with a connection to hedge funds is Republican Michael Grimm, who spent two years undercover posing as a hedge fund manager for the FBI.
Reshma Saujani, a 34-year-old lawyer who works for Fortress Investment Group, plans to take on one of the most powerful members of New York’s congressional delegation in the Democratic primary. White is also the wife of Quadrangle Group founder and former U.S. auto czar Steven Rattner, who has close ties to the Obama administration.
Meanwhile, a little further north, former hedge fund manager Harry Wilson launched his bid for state comptroller this week.
Michael Grimm’s ties to the hedge fund industry are somewhat more unorthodox. Grimm, a Republican who is seeking to unseat freshman Democrat Michael McMahon spent almost two years undercover as a Wall Street hedge fund manager for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Grimm spent more than a decade with the FBI, beginning with the organized crime branch before moving on to the financial fraud branch.  Source

Hedge Funds BlackRock

Hedge Funds BlackRock

Hedge Funds Lead BlackRock's Impressive Returns



BlackRock, the world's largest money manager, has said that its impressive quarterly earnings were led by the fivefold increase in hedge fund performance fees.  BlackRock's latest earnings for the fourth quarter of 2009 were $256 million, a huge increase from just $52 million in the fourth quarter last year.
New York-based BlackRock said it fourth quarter earnings were $256 million, up from $52 million in the year-earlier period. Revenue jumped 45% to $1.54 billion, thanks in no small part to the huge increase in performance fee income, which hit $125 million in the quarter.

The deal for BGI, the world’s 10th-largest hedge fund manager with some $17 billion in hedge fund assets—and more than $1 billion in other assets—helped BlackRock double its assets under management to $3.35 billion. The BGI acquisition, which closed last month, added $94 million in quarterly income, although that was offset by $108 million in after-tax costs related to the purchases. BlackRock paid $13.5 billion for BGI.

Investors poured an additional $38 billion into BlackRock’s and BGI’s funds in the fourth quarter, and have committed another $39.7 billion through the first three weeks of January.  Source

Hedge Fund Blocking Sale of Texas Rangers Baseball Team


A hedge fund manager has made headlines as the last obstacle for a retired private equity manager to sell a major league baseball team in order to settle over $500 million in defaulted debt.  Tom Hicks, of  Hicks Holdings, is attempting to sell the Texas Rangers to a group including pitching legend Nolan Ryan, but Monarch Alternative Capital which holds about a fifth of Hicks' debt is obstructing the sale.  Monarch, a NY-based hedge fund specializing in distressed debt, is thought to be waiting for a better offer.

Last week, Hicks’ sports team holding company, Hicks Sports Group, announced its plan to sell the Texas Rangers for an unspecified amount, believed to be more than $500 million. But Monarch Alternative Capital, which holds $100 million of Hicks’ $525 million in defaulted debt, is reportedly unhappy with the deal to sell to a group led by Pittsburgh lawyer Chuck Greenberg and Nolan Ryan, the legendary Hall of Fame pitcher who serves as president of the Rangers.

HSG’s creditors, including Monarch, must approve the sale.
It is believed that the Greenberg-Ryan offer was not the richest received by HSG: Houston businessman Jim Crane’s bid was reportedly higher than the one that was accepted.
Monarch, a New York-based distressed-debt hedge fund, may think that the Greenberg-Ryan group isn’t offering enough, SportsBusiness Journal reports.  Source

Hedge Fund Investors Survey

Hedge Funds Investors Survey

Investors Staying with Hedge Funds but Have More Demands


Hedge funds are having little trouble keeping investors despite 2008's heavy losses, but investors are demanding more from managers.  A recent survey (SEI's "The Era of the Investor") showed that although 80% of surveyed investors plan to keep their money with hedge funds and 15% plan to up their allocations in the next year, a high majority of investors are asking for more information and greater transparency from the funds they invest with.

More than 70% said they are asking for more specific information from managers and over 80% said they are focusing on the funds' valuation methods.  As we've previously noted, there is still a push by investors for a reform of the typical 2 and 20 fee structure but it remains to be seen whether managers will budge on this issue after the best year's performance in a decade. 
"Investors remain committed to hedge funds but that commitment comes with increased expectations," said Phil Masterson, Managing Director for SEI's Investment Manager Services division. "The balance of power has clearly shifted and managers must meet the growing demand for transparency and increase their focus on operational effectiveness if they want to be successful in this 'Era of the Investor.'"

With respect to manager selection, institutional investors are even more focused on a manager's ability to identify and clearly explain the alpha source from which the performance is derived.

For hedge fund managers, the survey clearly points to the need to focus on the fundamentals as they face greater scrutiny and demands from investors.  The survey reveals that investors are concerned with issues such as liquidity risk, valuation methodology, and whether performance characteristics are in line with stated strategies.  It also points to institutional investors' willingness to look beyond short-term performance and focus on other traditional indicators of quality, such as a firm's management team, investment process, and operations and compliance infrastructure.   Source

Hedge Funds Porsche Lawsuit

Hedge Funds Porsche Lawsuit

Hedge Funds Sue Porsche for $1 Billion over VW


Hedge funds holding Volckswagon AG Stock have filed a lawsuit against Porsch SE.  The suit claims that Porsch unfairly cornered the market on Volckswagon through undisclosed options in a failed takeover bid, causing the funds $1 billion in losses.  The hedge funds--including Elliott Associates LP, Glenhill Capital LP, Glenview Capital Partners LP--cried foul in October 2008 when, although Porsche had publicly denied seeking ownership of VW, Porsche announced it had accumulated most of VW's common stock.  This announcement caused a surge in the price of VW stock forcing traders to cover their positions with purchases of inflated stock. 
The short sellers claim that Porsche misled investors by denying through much of 2008 that it intended to acquire Volkswagen and by using manipulative trades to hide its stock positions. Stuttgart, Germany-based Porsche said in October 2008 that it controlled most of Volkswagen’s common stock, causing the shares to surge as short sellers raced to buy shares borrowed in a bet that the Volkswagen stock would fall.
“Plaintiffs were forced to cover their short positions at prices that spiraled higher and higher,” according to the fraud complaint. “Porsche released billions of euros worth of shares into the short squeeze for its own profit. By releasing some of its own positions, Porsche was able to skim off outrageous short squeeze profits while still maintaining the bulk of its position for the takeover.”
The investors said in a statement that they are seeking to recover more than $1 billion in losses.  Source

Hedge Funds Obama Plan

Hedge Funds Obama Plan

Hedge Funds Could Be Hurt by Obama's Plan


Experts say that Obama's plan to reform commercial banks could have an adverse impact on hedge funds and private equity.  On Thursday, President Obama presented his plan to stop commercial banks and institutions owning banks from "owning, investing in or sponsoring" private equity and hedge funds which would remove a significant source for alternative asset funds.  The President is aiming to curb risk in the banking sector but private equity firms and hedge funds may pay a penalty too.
"Although the full implications of Obama's statement remain unclear, the potential disruption that such widespread reform could bring to the alternatives industry is significant, and could affect hundreds of banking institutions in the U.S. investing in alternatives," Preqin's Tim Friedman said.

If Europe follows the U.S. lead, it could have a big impact on powerful investment houses in the region's banks. If restrictions are limited to the U.S. there would still be a knock-on effect in Europe and Asia because many U.S. banks also invest in funds in those regions.

Tim Syder, deputy managing partner of U.K. buyout firm Electra, said a similar move in Europe would have a greater affect at the top end of the private equity market
 .
Meanwhile, hedge funds worldwide may be hit by Obama's plans, say experts.
While U.S. banks are relatively small direct investors in hedge funds, representing just 0.9% (approximately $10 billion) of the total capital invested by U.S. investors, the wider effects of the proposal could be much greater, said Preqin's Friedman.  Source

Goldman Sachs Global Equity Opportunities Closes


Goldman Sachs has decided to close Global Equity Opportunities, one of its most well-known and best performing hedge funds.  The investment bank has shut down the fund, which once managed $7 billion, two years after the fall of many quantitative hedge funds in 2007.
Goldman shuttered the once-$7 billion fund last month, more than two years after it became one of the earliest victims of the “quantocide” that struck quantitative hedge funds in the summer of 2007. GEO itself lost almost $1.5 billion in the first two weeks of August 2007 alone, leading Goldman to orchestrate a $3 billion bailout of the fund.
At the time, Goldman CFO David Viniar said the capital infusion “reflects our collective belief that the value of this fund is suffering from a market dislocation that does not reflect the fundamental value of the fund’s positions.” But while the bank recouped the money it invested in the fund, it never recovered, posting lackluster returns, and suffering client redemptions, over the past two years.
The fund had just $200 million in assets when Goldman pulled the plug last month, the Financial Times reports.  Source

Hedge Fund Hotel in London

Hedge Fund Hotel London



The Hedge Fund Hotel (HFH) has opened its first London office in London’s exclusive financial heart at 10 Lloyd’s Avenue – EC3N. HFH provides a new innovative space for start-up fund managers and established alternative asset managers, providing not just high quality office space but valuable included and additional services, networks and support systems. HFH is a quality one stop shop for essential and additional services for the funds sector allowing clients to save time and costs and focus on developing their business.

HFH London is a joint venture with the Hedge Fund Hotel, Toronto (www.hfhto.com) a successful and growing operation established in 2006. The founders all have extensive experience in the funds and finance sector and provide valuable input to help ensure the smooth operation of each start up business.

Peter Hughes, founder of Apex Fund Services (www.apexfundservices.com) and Founding Partner of HFH London, says, “HFH will provide an environment where administration matters are taken care of and our clients can focus on their business surrounded by people in the financial and investment sector who can assist their successful establishment and expand their expertise.”

William Woods, Founding Partner, HFH Toronto, added, “New hedge fund managers need office space, information, inspiration and capital. Often the start up manager has been employed by a large asset management organization and is not used to having zero support. Running a small business leaves them drowning in detail and unfocussed on the main objective of raising assets and outperforming.”

Ashminder Kaur, lawyer and Founding Partner states, “Navigating regulation and jurisdictional issues is increasingly complex for the funds sector, HFH seminars, in-house support, knowhow and the multi-jurisdictional and multi-disciplinary background of the founders will provide vital support to start ups and existing fund mangers”.

Hedge Funds 2009 Q4

Hedge Funds 2009 Q4

Hedge Funds Add $14 Billion in End of 2009


Hedge funds have achieved another goal showing their recovery from the woes of 2008.  In the last quarter of 2009, hedge funds took in $13.88 billion, the largest quarterly gain since the first quarter of 2008.  If investor confidence is any indicator, hedge funds are continuing last year's recovery into 2010.
Hedge funds’ salad days are back, according to a new report from Hedge Fund Research.
The firm said that investors poured $13.8 billion into the industry in the fourth quarter. It is the largest quarterly inflow since the first quarter of 2008, before the economy began to tank.

“In many respects, hedge-fund performance in 2009 suggests an aggressive return of risk—essentially the reverse of the financial crisis of 2008,” Kenneth Heinz, HFR president, said.

While the inflows are good news to be sure, they didn’t do much to blunt the industry’s outflow for the year. All told, investors withdrew $131 billion from hedge funds in 2009.

But strong performance helped mask even that outflow: Hedge funds managed $260 billion more than they did at the end of the first quarter of last year.  Source

Hedge Fund Asia Offices

Hedge Fund Asia Offices

A Dozen Multi-Billion Dollar Hedge Funds Open Asia Offices


Merrill Lynch reports aiding more than a dozen hedge funds in opening offices in Asia.  There are two likely causes for the moves, according to Dan Nicholas, the head of Asia financing sales at Merrill Lynch.  One reason is that hedge funds have been under-allocating to the region and are now trying to correct that by devoting a significant percentage toward offices in Asia.  The other cause is that hedge funds are fleeing tougher regulation and tax increases in the UK and US and turning to more business-friendly environments.
A number of funds of hedge funds are also planning offices in the Asian cities, Dan McNicholas, head of Asia financing sales at Merrill Lynch said. McNicholas spoke in a Bloomberg Television interview without mentioning any names.

Hedge-fund managers have been tempted by Hong Kong’s regulatory environment, the region’s economic growth and potential investment opportunities as U.S. and Europe have proposed to increase taxes on the financial industry. London Mayor Boris Johnson said that as many as 9,000 bankers may leave the U.K. capital’s financial district as a result of a 50 percent tax on bonuses announced last month.

Asia is also expected to absorb a larger proportion of global hedge fund inflows than it historically received as funds need to correct their under-allocations to the region, he said. More than 15 percent of the $50 billion to $100 billion of hedge fund inflows expected in the first quarter may go to Asia, McNicholas said.  Source

80% of Fund of Hedge Funds to Open UCITS Vehicles


80% of the 30 largest funds of hedge fund managers reported plans to open UCITS vehicles.  As UCITS III funds are becoming more popular with investors, fund of funds are following suit and hoping to diversify with UCITS funds.  To read the whole report follow this link .

UCITS III funds are gaining favor among investors, and fund of funds firms are taking notice. According to a recent survey of the 30 largest fund of hedge fund managers, 80% of them intend to enter the UCITS space in 2010.
The survey—conducted by London-based investment boutique KDK Asset Management—highlights that there is substantial demand for fund of hedge fund strategies offered as UCITS from different types of investors. It also shows that the current investment universe is considered not deep enough and its quality not necessarily high enough to adequately satisfy these requests.
Despite the fact that the survey participants generally expect UCITS hedge funds to underperform their equivalent offshore funds, the “fund of UCITS” appears to be the preferred way to structure such offering for a UCITS investor base.  Source

Hedge Funds Beat Stock Indexes in the Last Decade


Hedge funds not only beat equities indexes by a significant margin in the last decade but also did so with less volatility.  This is an encouraging statistic for managers trying to restore investors' confidence following 2008's poor hedge fund performances.  The Hennessee Group, which issued the report showing how hedge funds have outperformed stock indexes in the last year, reports that its hedge fund index has rose 88% from 2000 through 2009 which stock indexes have sunk by as much as 44% in the Nasdaq Composite.
Tuesday, Hennessee Group said its hedge-fund index rose 88% from 2000 through 2009, compared with a 9.3% decline in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, a 23% fall in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index and a 44% plunge in the Nasdaq Composite. The Hennessee Hedge Fund Index had only two down years—2002 and 2008—while the S&P 500 fell in 2000 and 2001, in addition to those.

The Hennessee data show that in months the S&P 500 gained in value, hedge funds captured about half of the upside, while in months the index fell, hedge funds posted only about a fifth of the decline.

The top-performing investment funds over the past decade were those that focused on financial equities, health care and biotechnology, and distressed assets. Financial funds performed well in 2008, as they foresaw many of the financial problems and generated gains by betting against stocks. These funds also did well in 2009, participating in a sharp rebound among those stocks.  Source

Below are over 90 testimonials direct from current and past participants within the CHP Designation Program. These quotes offer insight into why others in similar situations are registering for this program.
Testimonial #1: Andy R. | Hedge Fund Manager
"As a former Hedge Fund manager, looking to launch a new fund in the next year, I was intrigued by the prospect of increasing my knowledge and understanding of a variety of platforms, strategies, and new regulations that are likely to come through the CHP. I believe that this designation is a long overdue way to separate the wheat from the chaff in an industry that, while currently in a down cycle, will remain as an integral component for financial planning and asset allocation in the future."

Testimonial #2: Nick Asmus | Equities Trader





Transcripted Text: "The hedge fund industry is becoming more popular every day and more competitive as well. This is why I believe the hedge fund certification program is a good way to show potential employers that you are dedicated to the industry. In college I ran the financial management association, after that I worked as a financial analyst and now I have been an equity trader for three years. For me it makes sense to show how I serious I am about learning about hedge funds, the CHP provides a great intensity of focus on hedge funds showing you are interested in the industry and driven to succeed. Most importantly it shows that you really are driven and you know the knowledge, you have a good foundation of basic hedge fund principles and in Level 2 of the CHP you can get more in-depth and show where your expertise is based, I recommend this program to everyone". 

Testimonial #3: Technical Analyst For Wachovia | Sumeer Kapila, Level 1 CHP, CFA Level 3 Candidate
"CHP designation is focused program. A program which details and provide inside information of hedge fund industry standards and strategies. The study guide provide you the rules of the game keeping you informed about the legal and regulatory perspective. This program helps you to keep the integrity of the market by raising industry standards".

Testimonial #4: Job Title: Hedge Fund Manager
Why are you earning the CHP Designation? "I have been tracking the develop of this designation for several months now and now that I'm running my own hedge fund I need more of a broad base of hedge fund industry knowledge.

Testimonial #5 J.P.: Hedge Fund Manager (Partner)
"Among the critical reasons I joined a hedge fund are the minimization of bureaucracy, an innovation-friendly environment, and the community of intellectual and self-motivated individuals. To me, the Hedge Fund Group and now the CHP designation embody these principles and will come to represent a unique brand of individuals in the hedge fund space."

Testimonial #9 Chai Foong: Algorithmic Forex Market Trader






Transcript of video above: "I am a algorithmic trader for the forex markes. I have been searching for a training program related to the markets and hedge funds but I could not find any suitable until a firend told me about the Certified Hedge Fund Professional (CHP) Exam. This program helps me build credibility in the market place and adds to my relevant experience in the field. I believe the CHP is what is needed to step inside the hedge fund industry".

Testimonial #6: Marc Oliver
"I have over 20+ years in the financial market industry with 15 securities licenses as well as other designation which includes FINRA Arbitration/ Mediation Panelist. Additionally, I am or have been a member of various industry related regulatory groups. Most notably, I have been on the Regulatory/ Compliance side in the financial Market for the last 11 years, having even served as Head of Compliance, with an emphasis towards providing regulatory oversight for trade compliance (Listed/ NASDAQ/ Program Trading). My objective going forward is to focus on Hedge Fund Compliance oversight and though I am currently pursuing my Juris Doctorate I believe that the CHP designation would give the proper foundation as well professional accreditation coupled with my current investment advisory experience for such a career transition."

Testimonial #11: B.R. Aravind | Hedge Fund Associate

Transcript from Video Above: "To start with my objective was to work for a hedge fund manage a portfolio of my own a few years from now. While I was trying to learn the basics of the hedge fund industry I found the certification program ran by the Hedge Fund Group (HFG). This lead me to enroll into this hedge fund certification program they provided many helpful internship and career related articles. This gave me the right exposure on the industry and eventually got me an internship with the Hedge Fund Group. During this internship I was given many responsibilities on hedge funds, due diligence they use, risk management processes they use and holdings analysis work using SEC 13F Holdings filings. I am working with the Hedge Fund Group (HFG) to help provide a platform of working with hedge fund managers further throughout the rest of my career. Thank you"

Testimonial #12: Derivative/Technical analyst for a leading broking firm
"The CHP program is of the best courses I could find in the market for someone who wants to enter the world of alternative investments. Not only is the course vigorous and up to date, but they also help you with access to industry recruiters for career advice and job opportunities.

Testimonial #13: Algorithmic Trader for a Private Capital Group
"I am an algorithmic trading software developer working for a capital firm. I have been doing just-in-time learning all the time, in an undisciplined fashion. I think the goal of achieving a CHP Designation would enforce a formal approach to my education in this dynamic field. Besides, in my readings, I am hitting areas and terms I did not know, like - Tranches etc. CHP Designation would give me the confidence of a firm background knowledge, in pursuing my career."

Testimonial #14: Bob Beller Executive Vice President at a Financial Advisory Firm
"I’ve been involved in all aspects of the financial services industry over the past twenty-five years – legal and compliance, commodity pool owner and operator, hedge fund-of-funds principal and operator, domestic and international…you name it. If there’s anything I’ve learned over the years it’s that no business and no individual entrepreneur can sustain success over time without integrity and objective standards through which to measure core competence. Integrity comes from within. Objective standards are established by progressive thinkers. For me, the concept of CHP Designation is at the cutting edge of an industry that requires more uniform and measurable standards. That’s where I want to be for people I represent and that’s exactly what I want to pass along to people I mentor. Timing is everything."

Testimonial #15: Jennifer Hrabik | Wealth Management Associate
"Early on in my finance career I recognized I am very interested in alternatives and knew that learning more about this area would give me a competitive edge. I researched programs and found the CHP Designation to be the best as it also provides networking and mentor opportunities. It excites me that the program is new and I can be one of the first in the industry to earn this designation. I also like the two level approach. Level one provides a thorough overview of the hedge fund industry while level two focuses on training for a specific role. For someone just a few years into their career, level two is really helpful in narrowing down what you want to "major" in."
