What % of Hedge Funds/Institutions actually make money?
- Thread starter iamnewuser911
- Start date
Since apparently nobody in this thread including the OP has heard of this fairly new website called google, and Sle gave fairly non-numerical answers (how much is plenty?), let me show off my google fu power:
1. It depends on how many years we are looking at. The more years the less funds. Over the last 15 years, 92.2% of large-cap funds lagged a simple S&P 500 index fund. The percentages of mid-cap and small-cap funds lagging their benchmarks were even higher: 95.4% and 93.2%, respectively.
In other words, the odds you’ll do better than an index fund are close to 1 out of 20 when picking an actively-managed domestic equity mutual fund.
Also: "A barometer of hedge fund performance, called the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index, has generated an annualized gain of just 1.7% over the past five years. Compared to that, the S&P 500's average annualized return for the same period was 11%. "
2. It kind of depends on the market in general. When in a bullmarket, most HFs make money even if less than the market. When in a bear market, most HFs lose money.
3. 5 years.
4. See the above answers and interpolate. "two thirds of first time funds never raise another fund again"

I used Yahoo to find Google, but as Yahoo is not one of my Favourites since 1999, I had to Google Yahoo first.
