Asymmetric 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 کاملOptimal Portfolio Allocations with Hedge Funds∗
This paper analyzes optimal investment decisions, in the presence of non-redundant hedge funds, for investors with constant relative risk aversion. Factor regression models with optionlike risk factors and no-arbitrage principles are used to identify and estimate the market price of hedge fund risk, the volatility coefficients of hedge fund returns and the correlation between hedge fund and mar...
متن کاملExplaining hedge fund investment styles by loss aversion: A rational alternative
Recent research reveals that hedge fund returns exhibit a range of different, possibly non-linear pay-off patterns. It is difficult to qualify all these patterns simultaneously as being rational in a traditional framework for optimal financial decision making. In this paper we present a simple model based on loss aversion that can accommodate for all of these pay-off structures in one unifying ...
متن کاملPortfolios with Hedge Funds and Other Alternative Investments
We develop a flexible simulation-based optimization (SBO) method for the construction of optimal portfolios including hedge funds and other types of alternative investments. This method takes into account the skew and kurtosis of asset returns, the time series structure of asset returns, and the asymmetric nature of investor preferences for gains versus losses. Johnson (1949) translation is use...
متن کاملAsset Allocation Dynamics in the Hedge Fund Industry
This paper examines asset allocation dynamics of hedge funds through conducting optimal changepoint test on an asset class factor model. Based on the average F-test and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), we find that more dynamic hedge funds exhibit significantly better quality than less dynamic funds, signaled by lower return volatility, stricter share restrictions, and high water mark ...
