In The Efficiency and Productivity of Hedge Fund Families, published in the Winter 2017 issue of The Journal of Wealth Management, authors Greg Gregoriou (State University of New York, Plattsburgh) and Jason Moschella (McGill University, Montreal) take a novel approach to the question of hedge fund health and sustainability, focusing on operational efficiency rather than performance. By analyzing data from Barclay Hedge on asset management, headcount, management fees, and more, the authors show that the largest hedge funds have become significantly more efficient during the 2010-2015 period, potentially as a result of increased AUM. This creates a strong argument in favor of lower fees for clients.TOPICS: Real assets/alternative investments/private equity, performance measurement, manager selection
