Hedge Fund Performance People often ask me whether it’s worth investing in hedge funds. My short answer: it depends on your level of sophistication. Let’s start with a relatively unsophisticated investor — someone who can only build a simple portfolio of traditional assets like stocks and bonds. For this investor, adding hedge funds is beneficial. Between 1994 and 2020, hedge funds delivered an average alpha (net of fees) of about 3% per year relative to such a portfolio. Now consider a more sophisticated investor who also has access to advanced strategies, such as trend-following — strategies that exploit recent price trends across equities, bonds, commodities, and currencies. For this investor, hedge funds become far less attractive, as the average net alpha drops to just 0.4% per year. Why such a sharp drop? Because much of hedge fund performance comes from exposures to these strategies. So if you can replicate them yourself, why pay high fees for it? 🔍 Want to learn more? Read our research paper, “Is it Alpha or Beta? Decomposing Hedge Fund Returns When Models Are Misspecified,” coauthored with David Ardia, Patrick Gagliardini, and Olivier Scaillet, recently published in the Journal of Financial Economics (https://lnkd.in/e_DA52da) Or check out my recent interview in PaperJam, a Luxembourgish newspaper (https://lnkd.in/e6MHKDBR)
