FSA introduces new principals for the conduct of business of firms
As hedge funds are unregulated, these ranges are often exceeded, and can be as high as 5% fixed fee and 25% management fee. Hedge fund fees are often quoted in language such as "2 and 20" meaning 2% fixed fee and 20% management fee. There are two additional important points about hedge fund fees:
The benchmark High water mark
Example
Suppose at the beginning of year 1 a hedge fund has a net asset value of 100, and throughout the year the fund realizes a 25% return, raising the net asset value to 125. Then if an investor entered the fund with a $1,000,000 investment at the beginning of year 1 then his or her "shares" would be worth $1,250,000 gross of fees. If the benchmark was cash, say 5%, then the fees would be paid on the $200,000 upside in excess of cash. That is, the first 5% of the return would not have to have fees paid on it. If the fees were 2 and 20, then the investor would pay $20,000 in fixed fee (2%) and 20% of the upside above cash, that is, an additional $40,000 for a total of $60,000 in fees. This would make the investment value, gross of fees, equal to $1,190,000.
Example
Suppose an investor enters a hedge fund with a $1,000,000 at the beginning of year 1, and in that year the fund is down 20%, that is, the value of the investment drops to $800,000 gross of fees. The investor still pays the management fee (that is why it is called a fixed fee), but the investor pays no management fee. Now suppose that after year two the investment value is up to $1,200,000, representing over a 30% gain in year two for the fund. The investor, nevertheless, only pays a management fee on $200,000, that is, he or she only pays a fee on the amount in excess of the entering NAV. The entering NAV in this case is called the high water mark. In subsequent years if there is a drop in NAV, the new high water mark will be the entering NAV of the previous year, or the previous high water mark, whichever is greater.
Legal Structure
U.S. hedge funds are structured as limited partnerships. A limited partnership is characterized by the fact that it has two types of partners:
General partners (GP's) Limited partners (LP's)
Limited partners have limited liability with respect to the creditors of the partnership. In other words, the extent of the liability of a limited partner is the partner's investment. In the context of hedge funds, limited partners buy shares in the "corporation" (the hedge fund) and the value of the shares, gross of fees, are tied to the net asset value of the fund. In practical terms, the general partners run the hedge fund. They are often referred to as the hedge fund manager. The limited partners are the investors.
Long/Short Funds
Funds employing long/short strategies generally invest in equity and fixed income securities taking directional bets on either an individual security, sector or country level.
For example, a fund might do pairs trading, and buy stocks that they think will move up and sell stocks they think will move down. Or go long sectors they think will go up and short countries they think will go down.
Long/Short strategies are not automatically market neutral. That is, a long/short strategy can have significant correlation with traditional markets, and surprisingly have seen large down turns in exactly the same times as major market downturns.
Tactical Trading
Quoting from Hedge Funds Demystified: Tactical trading refers to strategies that speculate on the direction of market prices of currencies, commodities, equities and/or bonds. Managers typically are either systematic or discretionary.
Systematic managers are primarily trend followers who rely on computer models based on technical analysis. Discretionary managers usually take a less quantitative approach and rely on both fundamental and technical analysis.
This is the most volatile sector in terms of performance because many managers combine long and/or short positions with leverage to maximize returns...

The following shows the cash flows for a purchase and sale of an asset/security:

ACHIEVING LEVERAGE
Hedge funds typically achieve leverage through one of three mechanisms
buying on margin shorting securities derivative contracts
NB: traditional, long only fund managers often refer to their short positions, but these are relative to a benchmark; in actuality their positions are nearly always long
Creditor Cash
Allows fund to take many more positions than would otherwise be the case Margin loans cheaper because of collateral (securities kept in account) Banks make money on loan and commission from greater trade volume Its great IF the market is UP
Collateral
Hedge Funds
If the asset rises in value the fund makes a leveraged gain If the asset falls in value then the fund makes a leveraged loss
Stock lenders: fund managers, banks, investment banks etc Stock lenders are still the owners of the asset Short seller benefits if the stock goes down in value
Net = 10
Asset price up Asset sold for $100 Asset bought back at $110 Net = -10
Stock lenders pension funds, insurance companies, banks, investment banks etc earn additional cash on their long positions Brokers earn commission on trades
LONG/SHORT STRATEGIES
In this example, the hedge fund buys stock A (undervalued) and sells stock B (overvalued) This trade can make money for a hedge fund in a variety of ways E.g.: Sell B as it is overvalued, get higher price. Hence when it goes back to fair value, its easy to purchase at lower price and pay back the (stock B) loan. Make some profit. Borrow to buy Stock A as its undervalued, pay lower price. When it gets back to fair value, its easy to sell it at higher price and repay the loan
Corporations and regulators often very critical of hedge fund activity around these events
Some hedge funds try to influence outcome in their favour by obtaining seat on board etc
Pre-announcement: using models to identify takeover targets i.e. valuation as usual! The risk is that the deals do not evolve as predicted
DIRECTIONAL STRATEGIES
Many hedge funds simply use leverage in variety of markets to benefit from broad market movements i.e. no hedging involved. Global macro funds (e.g. George Soros fund) Emerging market funds: high risk markets with potentially high returns.
Sector specialists: commodities technology energy etc
Yields on these very low now, increasing further the attractiveness of alternative asset classes like hedge funds and private equity funds. Hedge funds target absolute return, claim to be able to offer a positive return in good and bad times
Regulation
The US SEC ruled that from Feb 2006 any fund with holding more than $25 Million, must post results through them for all to see In UK FSA having spend more than 12 months analysing this sector and has identified 25 hedge funds which it will watch carefully.
SUMMARY
Institutional demand for alternative investments, plus the lucrative business that hedge funds can generate for investment banks have combined to encourage a rapid increase in hedge fund numbers over the past few years Huge variety of hedge fund strategies, but few are truly hedging all risks as the name implies Most combine a specific strategy with leverage to magnify returns As hedge fund numbers increase, average returns will almost certainly decline

PRIVATE EQUITY
What is PE
Definition of private equity
Private equity is a broad term that refers to any type of equity investment in an asset in which the equity is not freely tradable on a public stock market. This also includes public companies that are delisted as part of the transaction.
Exits
Private equity firms buy companies in order to sell them at a profit at a later stage. This has become more difficult since the start of the economic slowdown. Private equity exit transactions in which portfolio companies are sold to a buyer or another private equity firm.
Industry breakdown
High-tech, consumer, communications and other services sectors have attracted a large proportion of private equity investments, worldwide over the past decade. In the UK: Industrial products generated 29% of investments in 2008 (up from 17% in 2007), Consumer services 22% (down from 51%), Health care 15% (up from 7%).
The financial sector and consumer services were sectors where investment fell markedly in 2008.
Intermediaries
The growth in the private equity market over the past decade is largely attributable to the emergence of private equity funds. Private equity funds are organised mainly as
limited partnerships:- Investors who contribute to the funds capital are the limited partners general partners:- Professional managers running the fund.
About four-fifths of private equity investments flow through specialised intermediaries, almost all of which are in the form of limited partnerships. The remainder is invested directly in firms through coinvestments (direct investing alongside private equity firms) and other forms of direct investments.
Issuers
Issuers in the private equity market vary widely in size and in their reasons for raising capital. As private equity is one of the most expensive forms of finance, issuers generally are firms that do not have an alternative source of financing such as a bank loan, private placement or the public equity market. Firms seeking venture capital are typically young firms that are projected to show high growth rates. Seed or start-up capital is the money used to purchase equity-based interest in a new or existing company which is not yet operational. Venture capital also includes early-stage capital provided for companies that have commenced trading but have not moved into profitability or proved its commercial viability. Later stage investments where the product or service is widely available are also considered as venture capital investments. Non-venture private equity investments include middle-market companies that use the private equity market to raise finance for expansion or a change in their capital structure. Public companies can also be issuers in the non-venture private equity market. These companies issue a combination of debt and private equity to finance a management or leveraged buyout. They also issue private equity to help them through periods of financial distress.
