Hedge fund?
Filed Under (Hedge Funds) by Admin on 28-07-2010
Hedge Fund Blog began five years ago. It’s been great meeting and dialoging with people I might never have connected with. Initially I posted daily but outside the blogosphere I’ve was quite busy helping investors make money, developing pension liability solutions and implementing portfolio rescue strategies. Despite vastly superior performance, hedge funds continue to be controversial and misunderstood. The five years have been good for alpha but not for beta.
Risky but some still bet on beta - the unskilled returns from asset classes. I prefer alpha - absolute returns from market skill. There is no need for retirement savings and personal net worth to suffer the unreliability and volatility of long only stocks and bonds. Could individual and institutional investors afford another severe bear market? Safer alternatives and better uses of capital are available. The ONLY financial certainty over the next five years is a substantial increase in investment in hedge funds. Avoid the beta behemoth crushing your portfolio, again.
Jul 28, 2010: It’s that time of the year when we are needed to renew our cars’ registrations and our driving licenses. We were trying to figure out how to go about doing the tasks online. At DMV’s website we found that the rules vary from state to state. So we had to dig on a little further.
