Macro Funds

Hedge fund investor and Fordham professor Kevin Mirabile’s book is a useful read for those unversed in the alternative asset class.

When choosing hedge funds in which to invest, it pays to seek out strategies that capture the strongest parts of the current market.

After a tough 2015 that saw fund closures at firms such as Fortress and Avenue Capital, managers can expect performance woes to continue.

An early look at July data shows that most long-short equity, multi-strategy and macro funds greatly lagged the major indexes for the month.

Get ready to pass around the hat. Many of the large, well recognized hedge fund names are having a tough time so far this year. Several of them are even losing money while others are barely in the black.
