Hedge Fund in 2010: hedge fund
                     strategies
             What changed or what is changing?
3. Hedge Fund in 2010: strategy
repartition
 The hedge fund industry evolves quickly and the strategy
 repartition has always evolved dramatically
   1970ies: long/short funds
   1980ies: macro funds
   1990ies: mix (long/short, macro & new strategies)
   1999- early 2000ies: end of very large macro, real long/short,
   CTA, CB arb, etc.
   Starting 2005: long biased funds, emerging markets, less liquid
   strategies (private investments, asset based lending, distressed,
   event driven)
3. Hedge Fund in 2010: strategy
repartition
 Since 2005, many new strategies became available: the
 more exotic, the more attractive
   In terms of products, of markets and of tools used
 Hedge fund investors focused more on returns & the
 background of hedge fund selector was too often light on
 technicals to understand the real risks.
   Less liquid strategies became common
   The frontier between hedge funds and private equity funds
   disappeared
 After the crisis, most hedge fund managers went back to
 basics and they are more focused
   In 2010, hedge fund selectors should go
   deeper in the understanding of the strategies

Consolidation of the hedge fund
                       industry
             How is the industry consolidating?
4. Consolidation of the hedge fund
industry
 Before the crisis, not only original but also small funds (in
 terms of assets) became attractive because of the
 competition between hedge fund investors.

 After the crisis, investors look for:
   Funds that went through the crisis
   Funds that are giving enough transparency
   Funds that (looks like) have(ing) the capacity to make stables
   returns and manage liquidity
   …avoid fraud and liquidity issues

Large established funds closed for years opened
to investors and got the main inflows
4. Consolidation of the hedge fund
industry
 The new talents cannot raise assets to reach the
 minimum size to grow further
 Many funds made significant losses in 2008 and are still far
 from high watermark
   Many managers/traders join the large hedge fund groups

 A significant part of the new assets comes from
 institutional investors that loose confidence in banks and
 classic asset management companies but the need
 institutionalized funds
   Is it the end of the « entrepreneur of finance »?

The industry is splitting with a few hundreds big
ones and the other ones

industry

  Because of the institutionalization of the large funds
  No exposure to unwanted risks like operational risks
  (operational DDQ + quantitative analysis)

 My (published) view in 2007 was…

Conclusion

  Almost done…
6. Conclusion
 The industry is back on track but it is different and will
 continue to evolve rapidly.
 In 2010, hedge fund selector should know more than the
 basics of every strategy even if many managers went back
 to basics.
 Larger established funds opened to investors after the
 crisis and they are getting the main inflows
 The short to medium term future of the industry is
 probably persistent consolidation
