   Falcone’s Harbinger Hedge Fund Lost 47%

   Dr. Marcinko – This was a very timely post.

   But, did you know that Phil Falcone’s Harbinger Capital Partners LLC lost 47 percent for investors in his main hedge fund last year, according to a person familiar with the results.

   More Malta in the News

   An ex-Obama official might not back Obama this year, citing birth-control decision. In fact, Douglas Kmiec, the president’s former ambassador to Malta, said he is strongly opposed to Obama’s new health insurance [HI] manadate.

   Does this have any affect on hedge fund managers?

   Hedge funds like Dodd Frank?

   Dr. Marcinko – In the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis, hedge fund executives were worried that they would be scapegoated, painted as villains for the market gyrations and the implosion of top broker dealers.

   But, it gradually became clear that alternative investment providers fared well from a regulatory perspective.

   Hedge Funds

   Dr. Marcinko – Private Equity (PE) funding may have had its heyday prior to the bust of 2008 and may never again attain its $58 billion peak of 2007. What do you think?

   Hedge Results

   After a decent start to the year, hedge funds definitely hit a rather jarring speed bump. The average fund lost nearly 3 percent, the worst month since September.

   http://www.fiercefinance.com/story/hedge-fund-returns-down-may/2012-06-12?utm_medium=nl&utm_source=internal

   But, that’s not as bad the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, which fell 6 percent for the month, however.

    Do Hedge Funds Create Jobs?

    There has been an ongoing discussion surrounding hedge funds and their ability – or lack thereof – to create jobs.

    Do they really have the capacity to help the job market? And if they do, what jobs are hedge funds producing?

    The High Water Mark

    Some hedge funds feature a highwater mark provision, also known as a ”loss-carryforward” provision. As with the hurdle rate, potential investors should consider the highwater mark a form of protection. A high water mark is an amount equal to the greatest value of an investor’s capital account, adjusted for contributions and withdrawals.

    The high water mark ensures that the hedge fund manager charges a performance incentive fee only on the amount of appreciation over and above the highwater mark set at the time the performance fee was last charged. The current trend is for newer funds to feature this highwater mark, while older, larger funds may not feature it.

    Hedge fund fees will sink in 2015?

    Dr. Marcinko – Taken together, the 25 highest paid hedge fund managers took home $21 billion last year, up from $12 billion in 2009, according to Alpha magazine. But, those paychecks won’t last.

    On average, hedge funds have underperformed the market for each of the past five years — the longest stretch on record. And, this fall Calpers said it was selling all of its hedge fund positions and banks and the mutual fund industry are already creating much cheaper alternatives.

    Recently, billionaire Paul Tudor Jones cut his fees to 2.75% a year on all his clients’ assets, and 27% of the annual gains. That’s still shockingly high, given that Jones is on a multi-year cold streak that could chill the Arctic.

    So, will other hedge fund managers have to go much lower to keep their clients from hitting the exits?
