Hedge funds are bouncing back — but are they better than a simple tracker? | opinion
Hedge fundsWhen Warren Buffett described hedge fund managers as “an elite crew, loaded with brains, adrenaline and confidence”, it was not a recommendation.
But Buffett failed to nail the coffin shut. Hedge funds are showing signs of life this year. The industry recorded net inflows in the first quarter, with managers large and small taking in new money as banks teetered and fear of recession stalked the markets. The company already publishes the HFRI 500, a slightly broader index aimed at institutional investors who can invest in hedge fund managers’ offshore vehicles. Both benchmarks are designed to offer the full range of hedge fund types, from equity long/short strategies, through macro funds to volatility trading, weighted roughly according to their size within the industry as a whole.
