A fund of hedge funds combines a mix of strategy sectors, managers, and styles, and therefore fund of funds risk managers need to understand the common attributes of hedge fund strategies. Which of the following statements is incorrect?
选项:
A.
Equity market neutral funds aim to generate returns that have low correlation to the overall equity market and to insulate their portfolios from broad market risk factors.
B.
Convertible arbitrage funds typically purchase securities that are convertible into the issuer's stock and simultaneously short the underlying stock. These funds earn returns in part from gamma trading on the stock’s volatility.
C.
Merger arbitrage funds buy the stock of an acquisition target company and simultaneously short the bidding company’s stock. These funds have large exposure to deal risk.
D.
Equity short-selling funds sell stocks not currently owned by the seller in order to take a directional bet that the stock price will decline. These funds tend to be uncorrelated with traditional long-only equity portfolios.
解释:
D is correct. Statements a., b., and c. are correct. Funds that short-sell, however, have negative correlation with long-only portfolios. They cannot be uncorrelated.
我理解,等额hedge掉delta(买cb卖stock)’所以他是个gamma trade对吗?
