Run on Hedge Funds
Looming Run on Hedge Funds?
I just read this article on how part of this financial crises will involve a run on hedge funds. Any time industry performance is low there will be some redemptions, but I don’t think there will be any massive industry-changing run on individual hedge fund managers. What are you seeing?
Here’s the article:
The next stage will be a run on thousands of highly leveraged hedge funds. After a brief lock-up period, investors in such funds can redeem their investments on a quarterly basis; thus a bank-like run on hedge funds is highly possible. Hundreds of smaller, younger funds that have taken excessive risks with high leverage and are poorly managed may collapse. A massive shake-out of the bloated hedge fund industry is likely in the next two years. Source

Prime Brokerage + Administration
Prime Brokerage & Hedge Fund Administration
More prime brokerage firms are adding on administration services to help attract and retain clients. I wasn’t sure how widespread of a trend this was but saw this mentioned within an article yesterday as noted below. I would be interested in discussing this further with hedge fund managers reading this article – if you have some insight – Richard@HedgeFundGroup.org.
__________________
In recent years, the custodian banks that have acquired hedge fund administrators have sought to adjust client lists in favor of larger and more profitable hedge fund and fund of funds groups interested in a broader array of services. At the same time, prime brokers have recognized that providing administration services can help attract and retain clients and counter the shift among hedge fund managers towards multiple prime brokerage.
“It would be surprising if the hedge fund administration industry continues to support such a large number of providers, and there is now evidence that a renewed round of consolidation is in the offing,” says Dominic Hobson. “However, the appetite to sell may be offset as well as encouraged by the depressed prices available. In any event, the buyers are likely to be different from the banks which dominated the acquisition process in the early years of this century.” Read more…

Investment Marketing
Investment Marketing Hurdles for Hedge Funds
I just read an interesting article on AllAboutAlpha discussing the challenges today in marketing hedge funds to new potential investors. Within the piece AAA discusses how the US has one of the most restrictive regulatory regimes in the world when it comes to the hedge fund industry. The countries of Australia, Canada, Japan and China are all less restrictive.
Here’s a short excerpt from the article:
An article in this month’s Journal of Financial Transformation illustrates why this is. The piece, titled “Hedge fund marketing in an era of regulatory uncertainty” covers many of the issues faced by those trying to raise money in the US. It’s a great update on the ebb and flow of SEC edicts over the past year and was co-authored by hedge fund personality James Hedges. Here’s some of what Hedges suggests:
- Avoid speaking to the media about your funds – even if you’re not actively selling, but just “conditioning the market”.
- Avoid “print, radio and television advertisements or solicitations regarding funding or investment matters”.
- When giving presentations, “address the risks associated with hedge funds in general as well as the specific risks associated with the hedge fund being offered.”
- When your fund has a great year, make sure you “disclose the reasons for extraordinary performance…”
- No “mass mailings” except to “individual investors, or a discrete group of accredited investors”.

Financial Wealth Management
Financial Wealth Management Interview – Steinhardt
Here is a short 10 minute interview with Michael Steinhardt from Wisdom Tree Investments. Within this interview he talks about how the stock market from a technical point of view looks poised for a rally yet at the same time shows many signs of a bear market. He believes that financial wealth management professionals face a challenge now within this unique bear market and that a large drop in the price of oil is all that would help now. He also believes that for the next year or two the write offs in the banking sector will continue. He would like to see the fed raise the rates and he believes that this time things are really going to be different this time. If he is right that could mean a prolonged period of low or even negative hedge fund industry returns. I’ll be publishing a hedge fund performance article next week with an update on how different sectors are performing.
