Sentiment Risk and Hedge Fund Returns
This paper documents a new and important cross-sectional determinant of hedge fund returns, their exposures to sentiment risk, measured as beta of fund returns to fluctuations in sentiment proxies. For a large sample of equity-oriented hedge funds, those whose sentiment beta ranks in the top decile subsequently outperform the bottom decile by 0.67% per month, after controlling for fund’s exposu...
متن کاملAsymmetric Returns and Optimal Hedge Fund Portfolios
THE JOURNAL OF ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS 9 I t is now well established that the construction of optimal hedge fund portfolios requires techniques that reach well beyond traditional mean variance analysis. For example, Brooks and Kat [2002] demonstrate that various hedge fund strategies have more downside than upside risk—returns exhibit negative skew and excess kurtosis. Lo [2001] and Anson [2002...
متن کاملDirectional and Non-Directional Risk Exposures in Hedge Fund Returns
This paper re-examines the ability of the factor model approach to evaluate the performance of the Equity Hedge, Event Driven, Macro, Relative Value, and Funds of Hedge Funds styles. As Hedge Fund returns are not normally distributed, we assign a premium to higher-order comoments of Hedge Fund returns with the US market aggregate. In addition to traditional asset(conditioned by the levels of so...
متن کاملImplications of Higher Order Risk Factors for Hedge Fund Performance
This paper investigates the performance of hedge funds adjusted for higher order risk factors. Traditional risk-adjusted performance measures are subject to size distorted in the presence of skewness and kurtosis. A residual augmented least squares approach to model higher order risk moments in returns allows us to estimate a robust risk-adjusted performance measure for hedge funds. In a compar...
متن کاملFailure Risk and the Cross-Section of Hedge Fund Returns
On average, hedge funds experience slow failures rather than sudden crashes. I model a fund’s probability of failure using a dynamic logit regression and find that fund failures are predicted by even 7-month lagged information. Hedge funds fail slowly as investors withdraw their funds over a period of time because of poor performance. Also, longer share restriction periods and the presence of m...
