Like Sarah Ferguson, the disgraced Duchess of York whose latest faux pas was trying to sell access to her ex-husband Prince Andrew, FoHFs had become the pariah of the broader hedge fund royal family.
Like Fergie, they were collectively banished to the outskirts, made the odd ones out and certainly not invited to the post-Great Recession (read: Will and Kate’s wedding) festivities. This happened partly because of their own poor performance and partly because of their association with hucksters and fraudsters (Madoff anyone?).

Anyone with compliance or marketing & sales experience in the asset management business is likely familiar with “GIPS”, the Global Investment Performance Standards. This is a set of guidelines published under the auspices of the CFA Institute that governs things like performance, AUM and NAV reporting produced by asset managers. Think of it as GAAP for asset managers.
But despite the ubiquity of GIPS, many hedge funds have charged that it falls short in some areas and that it fails to adequately address the unique issues faced by hedge funds and structured products. As a result, the GIPS Executive Committee recently proposed a new “Guidance Statement on Alternative Investment Strategies and Structures” and is asking for your feedback.
It addresses a number of hot button topics for hedge funds (e.g. leverage, master-feeders, benchmarks, and performance fees). Bit you’ll notice a common theme running through the entire document: many of these issues have already been addressed by plain vanilla GIPS. In fact, the GIPS folks almost seem a little miffed that hedge funds have been whining all these years:
“While a firm that manages alternative investments has always been able to comply with the GIPS standards, there has been a perception that because the GIPS standards do not include guidance dedicated to such investments, that compliance was not possible…If a firm manages alternative investments, nothing precludes the firm from claiming compliance with the GIPS standards for those investments.”

Beta comes in different shapes and sizes: plain vanilla and exotic, bull beta and bear beta. Alpha is no different and positive crisis alpha avoids the Achilles’ heel of other varieties: it doesn’t disappear when you most need it.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) in this new paper defines crisis alpha as performance during equity bear phases, such as late 1998, 2000-2002 and 2008. Unsurprisingly, the two equity hedge fund strategies that avoid long exposure to equities have produced positive crisis alpha: equity short biased and equity market neutral managers. CTAs, which can be long or short equities, are the other only hedge fund strategy that delivered positive crisis alpha – so say the CME. Every other hedge fund strategy, according to the BarclayHedge indices, suffers from negative crisis alpha, as the chart below shows. (Click the chart to enlarge.)
