The macroeconomic drivers in hedge fund beta management

Abstract: We investigate how macroeconomic indicators alter the dynamic risk exposure of different hedge fund style strategies. We implement a multifactor model to estimate the unobservable timevarying risk exposure conditional to macroeconomic information and a VAR to measure the impact of macroeconomic predictors on different time horizons. Using monthly returns on a cross-section of 10 different style indices from February 1997 to August 2019, we find that, on average, macroeconomic indicators explain approximately 3… Show more

“…Researchers are concerned about the asymmetric behavior of hedge funds depending on the phase of the business cycle (Holmes and Faff 2008 ; Jawadi and Khanniche 2012 ; Namvar et al 2016 ; Stafylas et al 2018 ). The Kalman filter is a tool used in a large number of studies (Thomson and van Vuuren 2018 ; Lambert and Platania 2020 ). 10 Other dynamic econometric techniques have also been used.…”

“…These options span various forms of market timing by portfolio managers (Glosten and Jagannathan 1994 ; Agarwal and Naik 2004 ; Stafylas et al 2017 ). The exposure of hedge-fund returns to risk factors, especially the market risk premium, has been made time-varying relatively recently, particularly since the subprime crisis (Holmes and Faff 2008 ; Billio et al 2012 ; Jawadi and Khanniche 2012 ; Bali et al 2014 ; Namvar et al 2016 ; Stafylas et al 2017 ; Racicot and Théoret 2016 ; Thomson and van Vuuren 2018 ; Lambert and Platania 2016 , 2020 ; Racicot et al 2021 ). The literature indicates that hedge funds monitor their risk exposure in order to take more risk in high regimes (i.e., expansions) and less risk in low regimes (i.e., recessions).…”

“…Com base em evidências empíricas amplamente disponíveis na literatura, é esperado que a performance dos fundos de investimento em ações varie dinamicamente em função de condições sistêmicas do ambiente econômico (Lambert & Platania, 2020;Wang & Zheng, 2018;Bali, Brown, & Caglayan, 2014;Kosowski, 2011;Sun, Otten, & Bams, 2004;Ferson & Schadt, 1996). Especificamente, o estudo seminal de Ferson e Schadt (1996, p.158) mostra que a performance dos fundos de investimento deve ser analisada em função de informações sobre o cenário econômico disponível e, em função disso, análises empíricas deveriam buscar avaliar tal desempenho de forma a "incorporar variáveis com informações públicas".…”

“…Como mencionado anteriormente, estudos recentes indicam que, em momentos de incerteza, gestores tende a concentrar a negociação de ativos em alguns grupos de empresas menos arriscadas e, portanto, com menores níveis de retorno (Lambert, & Platania, 2020;Racicot, & Theoret , 2016), o que estaria associado a uma redução sistemática nas taxas de performance dos fundos. Nesse sentido, é possivel esparar que fundos com perfil de risco mais agressivos tendem a marter maiores níveis de retorno e, potanto, performance superior aos menos expostos em momentos de maiores incertezas.…”
