SMU Classification: Restricted

Taxation of Mutual Fund Income


• “Pass-through status” under the U.S. tax code
• Taxes are paid only by the investor, not by the
fund itself
• Disadvantage is that fund investors do not control
the timing of the sales of securities from the
portfolio, reducing their ability to engage in tax
management
• High portfolio turnover rate can be
particularly “tax inefficient”
• Average turnover dropped to 32% in 2020

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)


• ETFs are offshoots of mutual funds that allow investors
to trade index portfolios just as they do shares of stock
• Examples: “spiders,” “diamonds,” “cubes,” and “WEBS”
• Potential advantages
• Trade continuously like stocks
• Can be sold short or purchased on margin
• Cheaper than mutual funds
• Tax efficient
• Potential disadvantages
• Prices can depart from NAV
• Must be purchased from a broker (for a fee)

Table 26.1 Hedge Fund Styles 1

Style Strategy
Equity market Commonly uses long/short hedges. Typically controls for industry, sector, size, and other
neutral exposures and establishes market-neutral positions designed to exploit some market
inefficiency. Typically deploys leverage to amplify inefficiencies.
Long/short Equity-oriented positions on either side of the market (that is, long or short), depending on
equity hedge outlook. Not meant to be market neutral; low beta may be incidental. May establish a
concentrated focus regionally (example, U.S. or Europe) or on a specific sector (example, tech
or health care stocks). Derivatives may be used to hedge positions.
Dedicated short Net short position, usually in equities, as opposed to pure short exposure. In recent years, the
bias number of true dedicated short bias managers has dwindled.
Event driven Attempts to profit from events such as mergers & acquisitions (risk-arbitrage event driven),
regulatory changes, restructurings, bankrupitcies, and reorganizations (distressed event
driven), or other litigation. Can invest across asset classes and events (multi-strategy event
driven).
Fixed-Income Attempts to profit from price anomalies in related interest rate securities. Includes interest rate
arbitrage swap arbitrage, U.S. versus non-U.S. government bond arbitrage, yield-curve arbitrage, and
mortgage-backed arbitrage.
Convertible Hedged investing in convertible securities, typically long convertible bonds and short
arbitrage corresponding stock, particularly when there is a price discrepancy in the conversion ratio.

Table 26.1 Hedge Fund Styles 2

Style Strategy
Global macro Involves long and short positions in capital or derivative markets across the world. Portfolio
positions reflect views on broad market conditions and major economic trends.

Emerging Goal is to exploit market inefficiencies in emerging markets. Typically long only because short-
markets selling is not feasible in many developing markets. Can be invested across asset classes (and
currency).
Managed futures Use financial, currency, or commodity futures. May make use of technical trading rules or a less
structured judgmental approach.
Multistrategy Opportunistic choice of strategy depending on outlook.

Hedge Fund Strategies


(2 of 2)

• Statistical arbitrage - Use of quantitative systems


to uncover many perceived misalignments in
relative pricing and ensure profit by diversifying
across all of these small bets
• Pairs trading – Stocks are paired based on underlying
similarities and long/short positions are established to
exploit any relative mispricing between each pair
• Data mining – Sorting through large amounts of
historical data to uncover systematic patterns that can
be used as the basis of a trading strategy

Portable Alpha
(1 of 5)

• Portable alpha is a strategy that involves the


following steps:
1. Invest in positive alpha positions
2. Hedge the systematic risk of that investment
3. Establish market exposure where you want it by using
passive indexes
• Also called alpha transfer because you transfer
alpha from the sector where you find it to the asset
class in which you ultimately establish exposure

Venture Capital and Angel Investors


Angel Investors: Wealthy individuals or families.
• Invest in earliest stages of business development.
• Often syndicated through angel networks.

Venture Capital (VC): Professionally managed money that


invests in startups.
• Two forms: Independent VC funds or corporate venture
capital.
• Structured as limited liability partnerships.
• General Partners (GPs) control funds under management.
• Limited Partners (LPs) provide capital.

Private Equity Approach


Angels Wealthy individuals or families who provide funding at the very earliest stages
of start-ups in exchange for equity or convertible debt positions.
Venture capital Professionally managed money that provides funding for start-ups in exchange
for equity. They are organized as independent venture funds or corporate
venture capital to invest in all stages of startup development: seed capital,
early stage, and late stage. Venture capital can specialize in one industry or
invest across industries.

Leveraged buyout Investment firms that use an equity position levered by a large debt position to
purchase mature. financial positions. A management buyout is a one-off
transaction similar to a leveraged buyout but conducted by the management
team of the acquired company.

Growth capital Minority equity investments in companies that need capital to expand
operations.
Mezzanine capital Subordinated debt (often convertible) or preferred stock investments, which
are used to support growth of start-ups and other private equity investments.

Leveraged Buyouts (LBOs)


• LBO Funds take public companies private through
invested equity (typically 10 to 40%) and massive amounts
of debt (typically 60 to 90%).
• They seek mature companies with reasonably stable cash
flow and lower debt that have recently experienced
underperformance.
• Once acquired, LBOs improve the now private company’s
operations, governance, and capital structure.
• LBOs exit through IPO or acquisition, typically 5 to 7 years
from initial purchase.

SMU Classification: Restricted

Example 26.4 Leveraged Buyouts 1

An LBO fund purchases a regional telecom firm, which has recently fallen
on hard times. The telecom firm trades at $42 per share with 20,000,000
shares outstanding. The LBO offers $50 per share to purchase the
company outright, funded by 25% equity and 75% by high-yield debt
securities. The LBO believes it can work with management to grow the
firm at a rate of about 6% while reducing debt by 5% each year, exiting in
year 6. What is the expected IRR of this investment?

Step 1: Calculate expected value of the firm at exit.

Value6 = Value0  (1 + g )6 = $50×20,000,000×1.066 = $1, 418,519,112

Step 2: Estimate capital structure at exit:


Weight of Debt 0 = 75%, reduced 5% per year →
Weight of Debt 6 = 75% − (5%  6 years) = 45% →
Weight of Equity 6 = 1 − Weight of Debt 6 = 55%
