What Exactly Are Hedge Funds (And Why Are They Always Causing Problems)?

A little late but I’m curious on what factors contribute to define the “hurdle rate.” And are those factors (what of them) variable. And of those variable factors, I wonder if we’d be able to form a predictive relationship to monitor the hurdle rate over time. I honestly have no clue what in specific this refers to as I’m new to the field lol, but I’m curious on any specifics!

The other day, a guy asked me what I do. I said I’m a reporter. He called me “lying press.” Then he said he worked for a hedge fund. Yeah, and I’m the bad guy.

You forgot to mention manufactured outcomes.

The idiom " beating around the bush" was made after you started uploading videos on youtube.

Edge, hedging, exposure. Understand this and u have the key😊

The government should have bought out these failing companies. Ridiculous that they get to privatize the benefits only but socialize the losses.

Love the metronome. Bye!

SOUNDS LIKE A NASTY SYSTEM TO MAKE MONEY FOR THE VERY RICH,, TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE GENERAL POPULACE....

Better to Stick to the topic and let the listeners decide whether hedge funds are good or bad.

So like a bookie laying off a bet.

i wish i watched this earlier

Ok. Let’s take a look at ticker IQST. What can we surmise?

Suppose a law were passed that required hedge fund investors to be general (not limited) partners. If this were the case, the investors could be held financially liable for the misdeeds of the hedge fund managers--i.e., they could lose considerably more than their investment amount. Obviously this would make people less willing to invest in hedge funds, but it would mean that those still willing to invest in a hedge fund be allowed to insist on a greater measure of control of the managerial decisions, which would shut down much of the irresponisble/illegal actions on the part of hedge fund managers. Would this be an effective tool in controlling hedge fund misfeasance, or would it only serve to effectively illiminate the creation and opperation of hedge funds. If the latter, would the loss of hedge funds be such a terrible thing?

5:32 into the clip, and I still have NO IDEA what a hedge fund is.

Help the rich get richer!!!!! As someone who wants to be poor forever i demand this be stopped and anyone with a positive net worth be taxed at 99%

Nice video Richard 👍🏿

3% is an absolutely wild mutual fund expense ratio

What place?!?! In theory ? Baloney!

How do market-neutral strategies make money?

I worked as a day trader in a small hedge fund company where we will be trading Contract for differences(CFD) in WTI oil the rewards are hefty but it's more sort of a gamble

2 and 20 sounds like they are incentivized to take huge risks and take their cut when they hit and dump the losses on the investor when they miss?

The real reason people hate hedge funds: finding niches where a large number of customers are in a weak position to resist price increases and buying the business and raising prices huge amounts. We saw this in them buying out emergency room and air ambulance operations (which have a natural monopoly because of the inability of the customers to shop around [see the video "How Air Ambulances (Don't) Work" by Half as Interesting]) and then raising prices huge amounts. We also saw it in the massive investment in houses by hedge funds (along with those funds' ability to absorb short-term losses when they raise prices temporarily causing some houses not to be rented/bought) driving up prices in the housing market (and trailer parks) separate from any change in the ability and desire of the customers to pay more. (see the John Oliver video on mobile homes). To the extent hedge funds do (or are legally allowed to do) things like this it it is against the public interest to let them exist.

If u make profits, u keep it.
If u go under,tax payers will bail u out

Go have fun !!;

Buffet and Munger call hedge funds dishonesty.

Excelent video. Thank you

I would gladly lend any of my shares to short sellers. They can feel free to pay me interest to gamble.

It’s all abstraction and capitalism makes no sense

There is so much wrong in this video I don’t know where to begin. I am not even exaggerating that this is a pretty awful attempt to describe what a hedge fund is. Your lack of any actual knowledge is evident and you really should take this down.

I know this is a year old, but Subscribed. Us Gen exers need this type of info.

Hedge funds do have a place indeed, in my wallet. Keep stacking those AMC shorts, Im hungry.

Once again an excellent presentation on an economic topic. Thank you.

Hello - out of curiosity, can you please tell me which hedge funds got bailed out by the government in 2008?

He sounds like he's praising hedgefunds until the last sentence before the outro

Is it better to work for Hedge Fund or Asset Management?

Can you make a video about mmm stock split and what it means for investors

Honestly… I feel the worse part is that they’re bailed out. If the person was poorer, and tried to pull the same nonsense, they probably wouldn’t get the same benefit, and it shows the same message we see a lot: if you have money, the rules don’t apply, and it affects a lot more of the lower income brackets than those at the top. Then again, that’s just my opinion, and I’m not a professional.

I just feel that folks who are apart of hedge funds should A) have to disclose their investments, just like everyone else, and B) if things plummet, and they lose out, they shouldn’t be bailed out. If they’re willing to risk, they should feel the repercussions, just like the rest of us.

I dunno, hedge funds seem to be more harmful than good. I’m sure they could make the market more efficient without the need for sociopathy.

Kinda hard to take it serious when he keeps looking down 😄😄😄

Thanks for helping refresh me for CFA level 3

4:31 Lol lol lol lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
