Abstract

The so called Magnetar trade (a kind of capital structure arbitrage on the US housing market, using CDS and synthetic CDOs, and exploiting rating-dependent mispricing of risk) has gained a high publicity due to a Pulitzer Prize awarded media story from two journalists of...&lt;br/&gt;

Abstract

We examine hedge fund herding using a proprietary dataset that identifies hedge funds filing 13(f) reports. Hedge funds&amp;rsquo; role in the market dramatically increases over time and hedge funds exhibit much higher turnover than other institutional investors. Inconsistent with common perceptions, however, hedge funds are less likely to herd...&lt;br/&gt;

Abstract

We propose a new method to model hedge fund risk exposures using relatively high frequency conditioning variables. In a large sample of funds, we find substantial evidence that hedge fund risk exposures vary across and within months, and that capturing within-month variation is more important for hedge funds than for mutual funds. We...&lt;br/&gt;

Abstract

Hedge fund strategies typically generate option-like returns. Linear-factor models using benchmark asset indices have difficulty explaining them. Following the suggestions in Glosten and Jagannathan (1994), this article shows how to model hedge fund returns by focusing on the popular 'trend-following' strategy. We...&lt;br/&gt;
