Hedge funds are of interest to the Bank because of: their importance for secondary market liquidity and price discovery; the significant use of leverage by some types of hedge funds; and their interconnections with a range of counterparties. Risks from and to hedge funds are therefore relevant to the Bank's Financial Policy Committee, whose primary objective is to identify, assess, monitor and take action in relation to financial stability risks across the UK financial system.The global hedge fund industry has experienced dramatic growth since 2000, with assets under management increasing from US $250 billion to over US $3.5 trillion in 2017. Hedge funds operate a number of different strategies which dictate the markets they invest in and the leverage that they take.Hedge funds are exposed to a number of risks, including risks from using leverage and liquidity risks from investor redemptions. Hedge funds can also transmit risk to the financial system. Since the financial crisis, there have been changes which may serve to mitigate some of the risks. Hedge funds themselves have adjusted their business models, and international regulations, such as the Financial Stability Board's derivative reforms, have limited the risks that hedge funds pose to the financial system.Hedge funds' main source of financing is via banks' prime brokerage services. In the wake of the financial crisis, prime brokers have adjusted their business models, for example there has been growth in the use of synthetic prime brokerage in place of traditional cash prime brokerage.

Prime brokers and hedge funds form relationships in a matching market. What are the determinants of these matches? How did they change after the financial crisis? I estimate a matching model in which part of the profits of prime brokers and hedge funds depends on variables that are defined at the level of the entire portfolio of clients that a prime broker serves. I show that prime brokers and their client hedge funds choose to have trading relationships with each other in a manner that reflects the benefits of specialization. Moreover, prime brokers preferred risky clients before the crisis, while they were averse to risky clients after the crisis. Identification follows from pairwise matching stability. I analyze the potential underlying economic mechanisms, mainly the cost advantages to a prime broker of collateral re-use between hedge fund clients. This is known as internalization. I estimate that the value of internalization for major prime brokers, such as Goldman Sachs, is around $100-200 million annually.

The ultimate guide to dealing with hedge fund risk in a post-Great Recession world Hedge funds have been faced with a variety of new challenges as a result of the ongoing financial crisis. The simultaneous collapse of major financial institutions that were their trading counterparties and service providers, fundamental and systemic increases in market volatility and illiquidity, and unrelenting demands from investors to redeem their hedge fund investments have conspired to make the climate for hedge funds extremely uncomfortable. As a result, many funds have failed or been forced to close due to poor performance. Managing Hedge Fund Risk and Financing: Adapting to a New Era brings together the many lessons learned from the recent crisis. Advising hedge fund managers and CFOs on how to manage the risk of their investment strategies and structure relationships to best insulate their firms and investors from the failures of financial counterparties, the book looks in detail at the various methodologies for managing hedge fund market, credit, and operational risks depending on the hedge fund's investment strategy.

Early studies show that hedge fund performance is correlated across funds. I empirically document that similarities in hedge fund returns are associated with the presence of the same prime broker. Using data on prime brokerage relationships from 2000 to 2012, I estimate that dealing with the same broker increases performance correlation across funds of around 53%. My results are robust to controlling for the standard systematic risk factors, to different performance similarity proxies, to different subsamples, and to other possible determinants of performance similarity as the hedge funds' domicile and investment style.

Often a new hedge fund manage may have had limited exposure to services that are available to small hedge fund fund management companies. Should you engage a PR company, are you allowed to talk to the media, if you can how do you do it to your advantage? Is it worthwhile setting up your own regulated vehicle, or should you start out under a regulatory umbrella company? These are the kind of questions answered directly in the book. Fund Administrators differ in what they can do for a hedge fund managers beyond calculating a NAV. Do you need risk measurement capability from a third party or not? What middle office services would complement your Portfolio Management System? Getting these high level questions right sets a new hedge fund firm off in the right way for the medium-to-long term. The key service providers covered include lawyers and prime brokers who share their experience on the structural issues that have to be settled. There is a significant technological infrastructure required to set up a hedge fund in Europe - and the considerations behind the choices to be made are fully reflected. This book takes you through the start up process from all sides, including the insights from a hedge fund staffer that has been through the process several times over. You can learn from his mistakes without having to make them yourself. Funds cannot launch and prosper without investors. The last two chapters give the perspective of a seasoned investor in hedge funds and a list of investors that are prepared to commit to a hedge fund in it's early stages of development. The list has full contact details for the key decision makers.

This dissertation focuses on studying how investment banks affect hedge fund equity investments through acting as prime brokers for hedge funds. The first chapter studies how the relationships between hedge funds and investment banks are maintained through equity issuance and prime brokerage business. Using a comprehensive dataset of hedge funds and IPO allocations, I examine IPO allocation decisions by investment banks to hedge funds. I find that investment banks whose prime brokers have strong relationships with hedge funds and are lead underwriters of IPOs tend to allocate more IPOs to these hedge funds. Moreover, the allocation to hedge funds is larger when IPOs are underpriced, and the allocations are larger during bearish periods compared to bullish periods. I further document that hedge fund investments in IPOs are determined by the strength of hedge fund-prime broker relationships, rather than by hedge fund manager skills. I also find that hedge funds which have multiple prime brokers tend to invest in more IPOs. As a result, prime brokers implicitly support hedge funds through favorable IPO allocations. The second chapter finds that hedge funds can profit from anticipating upcoming changes in analysts' recommendations before they become public. I provide evidence supporting the hypothesis that hedge funds that have prime brokerage affiliations with analysts' investment banks have access to information on upcoming analysts' recommendations. Focusing on recommendations issued up to two days following stock holding report date, I find that large hedge funds that are clients of the investment bank (affiliated hedge funds) tend to buy upgrades and sell downgrades in a larger magnitude compared to other hedge funds before the public release of recommendations. Moreover, relative to non-affiliated hedge funds, affiliated hedge funds have a higher probability to trade in a way that is consistent with upcoming recommendation changes and earn higher (or avoid lower) short-term abnormal returns by buying (or selling) before upgrades (or downgrades). The results indicate that prime brokerage affiliation is an important source of private information on analysts' reports for hedge funds. The third chapter studies hedge funds' equity investment strategies by examining the investment value and risk consequence of their holdings concentration in large-cap and small-cap stocks. We find that stocks, especially small-cap ones, with concentrated hedge fund holdings earn higher future returns than those with less concentrated holdings. We also find that stocks with concentrated hedge fund holdings have higher downside risks, and the holdings concentration expedites the drop of stock performance, especially during financial crisis. In addition, small-cap stocks with higher holdings concentration are associated with hedge funds using higher leverage, consistent with Stein (2009) that deleverage leads to the negative return shock and downside risks in stocks. Our findings suggest that hedge fund managers are skilled in making equity investment under different market efficiency.
