Publicação Acesso Aberto Hedge funds strategies: Are they consistent?2011 - Machado-Santos, Carlos; Mendes-Ribeiro, MafaldaAlternative investment has grown considerably, transforming this industry in the forefront of investment innovation. Despite their public acknowledgment and profound influence in the financial market, there is still relative small understanding about hedge funds strategies style. This paper intends to determine whether stylistic characterization exists across hedge fund strategies, by comparing, for the period of 1998 to 2008, the performance of the EDHEC indices with one of the most representative indices of hedge funds, the CSFB/Tremont index, regarding seven main strategies. The results do not reject the hypothesis of equal mean monthly returns on every strategy, comparing the two data sources, showing that there is no significant differences between the strategies analyzed, suggesting that the purity in each style is not as developed and accurate as we may suppose.Publicação Acesso Aberto Market neutral hedge funds strategies: Are they really neutral?2011 - Machado-Santos, Carlos; Mendes-Ribeiro, MafaldaThe objective of this paper is to examine whether Market Neutral hedge funds strategies are exposed to the equity market or if they are in fact Market Neutral. Using two main database hedge funds indexes, EDHEC and CSFB Tremont, and contrasting them to the MSCI World Index, from January 1998 to December 2008, we performed a comparative analysis on the most representative Market Neutral hedge funds strategies. We examine for its neutrality and analyze what kind of strategies consistently perform differently over time, considering four strategies of Market Neutral hedge funds. The results, based on monthly returns, suggest that neutrality in the so-called arbitrage and pure alpha strategies do not perform differently from the traditional capital market, leading to the conclusion that neutrality in hedge funds, given their investment characteristics, is not as accurate as one may suppose. In such a context, mutual funds’ managers should be aware of their hedge funds picking strategies when diversifying portfolios based on the neutrality of these hedge funds.Publicação Acesso Aberto Is Blash possible in Hedge Funds? An approach to Seasonality2010 - Machado-Santos, Carlos; Mendes-Ribeiro, MafaldaSeasonality and behavior patterns are part of our daily life. Several studies have shown that seasonality behavior exists in different financial markets, especially in the spot market of equities and bonds. But, when we consider the monthly returns in hedge funds indexes, thus this occurs also? Many market participants have observed that as year goes by, a December Spike occurs frequently, and that has permeated the financial community to accept this effect as a common occurrence.This paper intends to determine whether seasonality exists across hedge fund strategies, by comparing, for the period of 1998 to 2008, the performance of the EDHEC indexes with another one of the most representative indexes of hedge funds, the CSFB/Tremont index, regarding seven main strategies. The results do not reject the hypothesis of seasonality on every strategy, comparing the two data sources, showing that there are significant higher returns in December, as well as lower and negative returns during the months of August, September and October. These results suggest that BLASH (Buy Low And Sell High) is possible in Hedge Funds management.
