Suppose a law were passed that required hedge fund investors to be general (not limited) partners. If this were the case, the investors could be held financially liable for the misdeeds of the hedge fund managers--i.e., they could lose considerably more than their investment amount. Obviously this would make people less willing to invest in hedge funds, but it would mean that those still willing to invest in a hedge fund be allowed to insist on a greater measure of control of the managerial decisions, which would shut down much of the irresponisble/illegal actions on the part of hedge fund managers. Would this be an effective tool in controlling hedge fund misfeasance, or would it only serve to effectively illiminate the creation and opperation of hedge funds. If the latter, would the loss of hedge funds be such a terrible thing?

Honestly… I feel the worse part is that they’re bailed out. If the person was poorer, and tried to pull the same nonsense, they probably wouldn’t get the same benefit, and it shows the same message we see a lot: if you have money, the rules don’t apply, and it affects a lot more of the lower income brackets than those at the top. Then again, that’s just my opinion, and I’m not a professional. I just feel that folks who are apart of hedge funds should A) have to disclose their investments, just like everyone else, and B) if things plummet, and they lose out, they shouldn’t be bailed out. If they’re willing to risk, they should feel the repercussions, just like the rest of us.

This is a great video, Richard. I really enjoyed it and it gave a lot of good information. I suppose my problem with hedge funds isn't out of FOMO "I can't have it so no one should be able to". It's what you spoke of at the end of the video. While they contribute to market efficiency, they also contribute to market disruption and crisis and they aren't regulated. Basically, they can contaminate the rest of the pool and no one keeps them in check. I feel that spillover cost needs to be controlled and that's why regulators exist. Your retirement funding, which stays full clear of hedge funds, can implode like in 2008/9 just because of hedge funds. I can't find myself thinking that's okay. If they want you to have the risk, you should get some of the upside. If you can't get the upside, you should be protected from that risk.

Because if they decide to do a FPO (issuing more shares, after their IPO) to raise more money. And not only will they get more money while their shares are higher, if they can show a history of consistently pushing up their share prices, people are more likely to invest as they can expect a relatively safe return. They can also sometimes use it in other dealings as well.

that depends on the type of fund. Not all hedge funds have the same returns for their clients and have management fees that range. your average index fund would have an annualised return of 9.8% with some going to fees. Whereas a hedge fund can easily generate 20%, depending on the size. I know fund managers that can make 60% P/L annually. Even if the fund took 40% of that and left 20% for its investors it would have more than doubled your listed alternatives. Renaissance's medallion fund made almost 80% last year despite being one of the biggest fund.

So you want to pay someone 20% of what ever the gain is just so you can .. eh.. maintain your money? Like seriously? The fuck do you think people pay hedgefunds for? To not make them money no matter what?

You'll need to get a license to give financial advice (degree and exams required) and enough seed capital to get an investment bank to send rich chumps your way.

Archegoes was a family office not a hedge fund

@ThePlainBagel 3 жыл бұрын

If I'm not mistaken, a family office can still be organized as a hedge fund, and news articles are referring to Archegos as a hedge fund: www.cnn.com/2021/03/29/investing/wall-street-hedge-fund-archegos/index.html That being said this could of course be incorrect, I'll look to see if I can clarify.

@@ThePlainBagel I used to underwrite family offices so hopefully this helps. If Archegoes was a multi-family office, then it would have been more akin to a traditional wealth manager. I believe it's more likely that it was a single-family office, in which case they would have likely multiple GP/LP arrangements in play, with the LP's being family members within one or a few select families. Usually they're conservatively managed, but this may have been the case of a rogue CIO driven by a demanding patriarch.

Hedge funds need harsher regulations. There's no reason they can just do as they please and crash the economy whilst not suffering any consequences.

I thought Archegos was a family office. Is there a difference?

@imranarshad7302 3 жыл бұрын

Yes. Archegos trades with it's own money so they don't have to disclose large positions, just like you and me. Hedgefunds trade with other people's money so they have to disclose a lot more and have a lot more regulations.

@samsonsoturian6013 3 жыл бұрын

The difference is it was a hedge fund that was banned from investing other people's money.
