The Hedge Fund Hegemon

The cat got through the hedge.

The recent volatility in global capital markets should give pause to those who say German leaders, who have been arguing for greater transparency in global hedge funds, are just sore losers US and UK policymakers, in particular, say the German whining is nonsense, and that hedge funds, along with other new age financial entities such as private equity firms are key innovators in today s, global economy.

Likewise, there is scope for removing the antiquated practice of taxing hedge and private equity funds carried interest at a preferential rate. The way home ownership is taxed and subsidized could be reformed more significantly, especially at the top price levels.

Those areas of the financial sector that have suffered the most reputational damage are the ones least subject to regulation and supervision the derivatives market, hedge funds and private equity funds, and the ratings agencies. Voluntary codes of good conduct have been a dismal failure.

Given this reality, the best bankers, traders, dealmakers, etc. will work for companies that provide the most attractive compensation. Greater pay regulation will drive the most talented away from regulated banks and towards hedge funds, private equity funds, boutique investment banks, and other unregulated investment firms.

The unit receives monthly investment and hedge position reports from UNDP.

As the recession deepens, however, bank balance sheets will be hammered further by a wave of defaults in commercial real estate, credit cards, private equity, and hedge funds. As governments try to avoid outright nationalization of banks, they will find themselves being forced to carry out second and third recapitalizations.

The idea is we create this long hedge of greenhouses facing the wind.

Much has been written about the painting collections of hedge fund managers and private equity art funds (where one essentially buys shares in portfolios of art without actually ever taking possession of anything). In fact, emerging market buyers, including Chinese, have become the swing buyers in many instances, often making purchases anonymously.

This opacity means that no one knows who is holding what, which saps confidence. When the repricing of risk finally occurred in September, investors panicked causing a liquidity run and a credit strike.

In those days nobody had bank accounts, or American Express cards, or hedge funds.

And so you can imagine, here I was an analyst at a hedge fund.

Otherwise, their firms would have been able to tap the trillions of dollars now sitting on the sidelines, held by sovereign wealth funds, private equity groups, hedge funds, and others. Now, working for the taxpayer, these same investment bankers will suddenly come up with the magic pricing formula that has eluded them until now.

Is this a short term phenomenon, and will we see an early return to rapid financial sector growth as soon as the world economy recovers? Already the market is full of rumors that guaranteed bonuses are returning, that hedge funds are making double digit returns, and that activity is reviving in the private equity market.

So pressure outside the US and Britain to put the hedge fund industry on a tighter regulatory leash is hardly surprising. The Germans, for example, want to reduce risk by forcing hedge funds to adhere to stricter reporting requirements.

The Volcker rule, whereby commercial banks would be barred from trading on their own account, and from owning hedge funds and private equity firms, languishes in Congress. In the UK, an Independent Commission on Banking, headed by Sir John Vickers, rejected separation of retail from investment banking, recommending instead ring fencing deposits from the investment arms of universal banks.

There was also a commodity bubble and a private equity and hedge funds bubble. Indeed, we now see the demise of the shadow banking system, the complex of non bank financial institutions that looked like banks as they borrowed short term and in liquid ways, leveraged a lot, and invested in longer term and illiquid ways.

Equity structures have also benefited from logistical support (computers, office facilities) and from technical assistance (National Equity Committee).

Pay equity? Yes. Absolutely a feminist issue.

Hedge funds constitute only a small percentage of overall world financial markets, which, according to a recent study by the McKinnsey Global Institute, now exceed 120 trillion. And hedge funds, unlike banks, can leverage their bets, borrowing to take on assets many times the size of their capital base.

Yes, all investors should have a very modest share of gold in their portfolios as a hedge against extreme tail risks. But other real assets can provide a similar hedge, and those tail risks while not eliminated are certainly lower today than at the peak of the global financial crisis.

And part of what happens, I think, in your '20s and '30s, is you start to learn to hedge your happiness.
