New
York City, NY, USA (June 25, 2013) -- As hedge funds have matured
as an alternative asset class they have been increasingly embraced by
institutional investors of all sizes, as well as high net worth
investors, Tim Ng, Managing Director, Clearbrook Global Advisors,
says. Their very success or perceived non-success may also be
creating confusion for some investors. This issue is more important
than ever before due to the changing landscape of hedge fund
investing that has shifted from predominantly an asset class filled
with high net worth investors, to now being dominated by major
institutional investors.
The
growing dependence on hedge fund returns by institutional investors
to provide alpha and downside risk mitigation versus traditional long
only assets makes it more important than ever to properly identify,
understand and employ the proper hedge fund to meet the specific
return, risk and liquidity objectives of the institutional investors.
Over many years and now decades, we believe that hedge funds have
been a misunderstood asset class due to investors and advisors alike
grouping hedge funds into a single melting pot and believing any
hedge fund should be able to accomplish what the client needs.
Institutional
investors today are confronted with achieving acceptable rates of
return and the need to mitigate downside risk. Pension funds in this
low interest rate environment are seeing their underfunding status
worsen, and endowments are needing to find other means with which to
meet their annual spending needs. Therefore, Ng says, it is important
for institutions to ferret out and employ investments that can meet
their targeted rates of return without taking on an inordinate amount
of risk. The choice of the appropriate hedge fund to either provide
risk/adjusted alpha versus equities or a moderate fixed income like
return can help institutions to reduce their volatility and enhance
returns over time. Lower volatility and smaller potential portfolio
draw-downs lead to a greater wealth effect and compounding of return
for the institution.
The
consistent compounding of returns will permit institutions to better
meet their liabilities and spending needs, as hundreds of the most
important players in alternative investments in the world will find
out at Tech2Trade Expo 2013's Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2013
