MACM Hedge Fund Consulting is served by professionals who have extensive
hands-on experience trading hedge fund strategies and are aware of the ploys of the unscrupulous
manager, which would not be evident to the untrained eye.
At MACM, we believe too much time and energy is devoted to analyzing hedge fund’s return stream and not
enough to the alpha generation process. We help investors in understanding this ‘process’ to create a portfolio
that is a true alpha generation engine.
Our services are available to the high net worth investors, family offices, pension funds, endowments,
sovereign wealth funds and funds of funds, as well as regulators like the SEC.
HEDGE FUND INVESTING FALLACIES
Before proceeding, every hedge fund investor needs to understand the following basic principles:
- Evaluating a hedge fund based on historical performance is at best useless and at worst provides a false
sense of security
- Asking a hedge fund to produce steady low volatility returns will only lead to destruction of true alpha
producing strategies
- Bucketing hedge fund strategies by asset class and geographies does not provide correlation benefits and
is the wrong way to evaluate hedge fund strategies
- A trader generates alpha, not the strategy
- To properly manage a hedge fund investment, you need the help and guidance of experienced traders
"Trading discipline is strongly
linked to the person's character-
if it fails once, it will most likely
fail again."
