    Investing in hedge funds by yourself can be risky due to their complex strategies, high fees, and potential for significant losses. Without expert knowledge, it's challenging to fully assess the risks and returns, making professional guidance crucial.

      Hedge funds can be tricky to navigate without deep financial expertise. The complex strategies and high fees involved mean that the risks can be substantial, and it’s hard to fully grasp these without experience. Professional guidance is key to making informed decisions and avoiding potential pitfalls.

      The comments emphasize the risks of investing in hedge funds without professional expertise. A financial adviser can help navigate these complexities, ensuring that investments are well-managed and aligned with financial goals. Their guidance is crucial for assessing risks, maximizing returns, and making the investment process more secure and personalized.

      Hedge fund managers are generally compensated for the alpha they generate. Essentially, the returns they generate that are not explained by the market. It’s a decent strategy, but if your returns can be fully attributed to the performance of the market, your clients will probably pull out of your fund.

    This is the best video explaining the appeal of hedge funds to rich people. I always assumed that because they underperformed the market most of the time + they have high fees that most of the rich people that invest in these funds aren't really savy when it comes to paper assets. For example they got rich in a different field such as manufacturing, real estate, food industry etc. so they don't really want to delve into the details of funds and just say "hey, this is where other rich people put their money, might as well trust the experts" and just blindly invest money into whatever fancy hedge fund they come across.
    Now, I understand the concept of capital preservation when it comes to managed funds. Not everything should be about gains.

      why not go with safer investment if you want to preserve your wealth. hedge funds are still way riskier and its not true rich people wants to invest in hedge funds. Just think this way U r very rich guy u tend to be followed by big fund managers and hedge funds (they are basically your friends). Now when u talk about money, investments its obvious fund managers and hedge funds guys can easily lure u to invest in hedge funds.
      Now market gives more return than hedge rich guys neither have time nor they care about that and they always go with the most trusted options (advice in their circle).
      My father buys so much mutual funds every year from agent (basically giving so much money to agents) , now neither he knows about cost neither cares much and always go with the trusted advice in his circle.
      Only thing is that we assume that everyone knows all that about finance and takes calculated decisions but thats not the case 99% people that dont belong to finance dont give it a much thought.

    The aim of hedge funds is to offer a different product compared to the market. The metric that actually a hedge fund offers is returns on a risk adjusted basis - Sharpe (or Sortino). That is to say, how much can you make per unit of risk. Thus it's aim is not to outperform the market on a % basis but on a Sharpe basis. If I can offer you 7% return with 1% vol, (Sharpe of 7) that is often far more appealing than 12% return (S&P500) with a 13% vol (0.95 Sharpe)
    I think that is missing in the video as the objective of a HF

    The service is sometimes potentially legitimate, especially for pension fund customers, insurance companies, and the like. However, the fees are unnecessarily high, and some of the funds are using non-public information to figure out what other investors are going to do, perhaps only a day or even a minute before they do it. These methods are not providing a useful service. They only squeeze drip drips of money from people's retirement savings or insurance reserves. Some funds allocate capital to more useful enterprises without burdening them with too much debt. Let's reward them and regulate the others.

    That’s not entirely true. Most of the money Ken Griffin makes is through naked shorting (which is illegal) companies into bankruptcy. They use swaps to hide their shorts. The most famous example is GameStop, at which they failed. The stock still is shorted over 200% per SEC report (so 100% more than there are shares of that company in existence). That’s how short squeezes happen. Btw Ken Griffin doesn’t only have a hedgefund but is also a Market Maker, which means there is a huge conflict of interest, since he can regulate the market and also profit off of it. They also use high frequency trading to make bets against you, as soon as you’re trying to buy something.
    Major examples of companies that went into bankruptcy because of Ken Griffin and Citadel are Toys R Us or Blockbuster.

    The concept of hedging makes sense to people whose wealth is tied to couple of companies (Bezos, musk, Cuban ,etc.). It will doesn't make sense to a multi millionaire.

    • @evilJim555
      @evilJim555 2 роки тому +2

      as someone who works in Private Equity, yea it's something more so along the lines of: A lot of millionaires are looking to diversify their assets and mitigate losses EVEN if on paper it makes more sense to dump everything into S&P... a lot of times they want security > profit. And then those who want profit want x amount in one area just so they dont have all their eggs in one basket. Also with owning a hedge fund comes great power and boasting rights. So most of the time these firms are actually not profit positive and are breaking even, but they just do it for the ties and connections they make.
