India Hedge Funds Report

I just came across this report on hedge funds in India. Below is the abstract describing the report and you can download the full version for free here.

Abstract:
In spite of tall claims that Hedge Funds have been demystified, the fact remains a big segment of the investment community is not aware of the risk return permutations that this asset class has to offer. Hedge fund is not a new terminology for those tracking Indian Capital market at least for the last 10 years. The interesting part has been the increased acceptance (even by the regulator) of their presence, in spite of the fact that they are not permitted to 'invest' in Indian markets. The impact which these funds can have on the financial stability could be substantial – but like any other coin it has positives and negatives. The Monetary Policy of 2007-08 gave a never-before opportunity to Hedge Funds- Access to the Indian HNI's and Institutional investor's share of Portfolio Pie. The paper investigates the impact of Hedge Funds on emerging Indian financial markets as well as the possible implications of marketing of hedge funds in India. The paper is an attempt to tread down the lightly traveled path named Hedge Funds.

Harvard University

Harvard University a Hedge Fund?

There was a recent article about Harvard University's massive endowment fund and how, in at least one person's point of view this simply looks like a large tax-free hedge fund. This is a hot issue right now since the WSJ recent reported that, "Massachusetts legislators, demonstrating a growing resentment against the wealth of elite universities in tight economic times, are studying a plan to levy a 2.5% annual tax on the portion of college endowments that exceed $1 billion. The effort takes aim at one of the primary economic engines of the state, which is home to nine universities with endowments that surpass the $1 billion level, led by Harvard University's $35 billion cache, the nation's largest."

Here is the opinion of Jim Manzi who is with NRO. "When tax-advantaged non-profits start to accumulate billions of dollars of cash through investment gains, and the insiders seem to be doing very well, it creates legitimate pressure for some legal changes. There is a broad range of alternatives: capital gains taxes on investment income, directly taxing the endowment, placing limitations on employee compensation, and forcing the distribution of a fixed percentage of the endowment are all obvious choices." This article continues to criticize the pay of professors at Harvard University as well as other issues related to their investment vs. donation income last year.

I am biased so all I will say is that I thought this was pretty interesting and I only wish we had more non-profit organizations with over $40B under management.

Hedge Fund Investing Survey

A recent survey completed by Deutsch Bank AG polled over 1,000 institutional money managers and rish investors around the globe who control close to $1 trillion in hedge fund allocations. Each respondent was able to select multiple choices and as usual investment performance remained the most important factor in making an investment. One interesting point that came out of this year's survey was that Risk Management has taken precedence over manage pedigree.

"Over the past eight months, the jump in volatility and the large market moves revealed which funds were bearing which risks," said Maarten Nederlof, New York co-head of Deutche's Hedge Fund Capital Group. "Now investors are very focused on risk management to explain the risks being taken and whether they are deliberate and under control."
